Words can never hurt me

By veingo

I'm all that's left,
of what I was.

I didn't mean to disappoint you.

As you whisper blades,
into my ear.

I'm sorry I let you down.

Trying to make it better,
only makes it worse.

I had the best intentions.

Now aim your tongue,
down at my heart.

I'm sure we'll both feel better.

I like how you (if you are indeed the subject) just take it like man for apparently being a naughty boy.

I think you took this the wrong way. It wasn't an admission of guilt, for something. It's an apology for not being able to make her happy. But I thank you for reading :)-
