Informing Memories
Last night in bed as I restlessly tried to sleep
Every memory of you began playing in my head
The good ones when we would smile and laugh
Then the bad ones with the harsh words said
Those are the ones that gave me unrest
The pain from the crushing guilt was killing me
It was then that realized that it was never you
I’m the one who caused us both such misery
You had your complaints and why wouldn’t you
There was rarely a time I did something right
They made me feel like I wasn’t enough for you
With such anger I’d respond starting our fight
Those memories of you taught a real lesson
That has answered most my problems in life
I never loved myself so how could I love you
I’m who failed as a husband not you as wife
