I Betrayed My Best Friend

Each day I feel it,
a wave of pain,
a lonely ache
deep in my veins.
Tears sting my eyes
and blind me from the world
I once thought as beautiful.
I destroyed any remaining trust...
I must change myself,
if I want to see her again.
She was the only one
who never betrayed me
and I went ahead and 
f***ed her life.
Now I feel like I don't have
a purpose.
I have no obligation to continue breathing,
other than the sliver of hope
that the world may forgive me.
I grow weaker every day.
I can't eat.
No sleep.
Only emptiness.
Why did this have to happen?
I ruined everything.
I just want it to end.
