She Hurt Me

She hurt me.
She hurt me bad.
Whenever I think of it,
It makes me mad.
When I'm with her,
I want to cry.
It stings to my soul,
Even as days go by.
What did I do
That she did this to me?
As time passes,
Why can't I let it be?
And now that years
Have gone by the way,
She wants to return
To as it was yesterday.
Try as I might,
I just can't do it.
As I attempt to,
My emotions are split.
I want to go back
To her as my mommy,
But after what's happened,
That I can't see.
But I feel obligated
To be more than a friend.
I'm afraid that 
Would only offend.
So, what do I do?
I just don't know.
I'm really not sure
Which way to go.
Would someone help?
I wish you would, please.
Because until I know,
My life's in unease.
