I made a choice
though it was long ago
I still think of it often
I was once asked a question
one that could be simply answered with a yes or a no
I couldn't say no
I couldn't hurt her
I couldn't say yes
I was afriad
I hold so much regret
and with it so much pain
but this one regret hurts most of all
It hurts more than all others combined
I never answered her
I never saw here again
the tears that i hold back
can never be quelled
I have no idea how much pain i casued her
but mine must be minescule in comparison
knowing that i casued her that pain
intensifies my own
I will never be able to apologize
This also intensifies my pain
I can never be forgiven
my pain shall be eternal
