Matthan Atherton Poet Rhyme

I'M Sorry

At seventeen years old
I have never felt so cold
My life story is still left to unfold

As a guy
I am not supposed to cry
But if I do
Nobody will like you

I am supposed to be strong
And think nothing I do is wrong
When I hurt a girl
I am expected to move along

But last night
My every fear came true
You claim I hurt you
And I made you cry
This is the reason
I feel like I should die

I don't like to hurt
I don't like to see you upset
And ever since we met
I never thought I'd let
You in so close

You mean much to me
And I don't think you see
How much I care

I am sorry I made you cry
And I really don't know why
I fought fire with fire
And I just got burned
I have now learned
To never do it again
Because now I can not win
You back...
