The weight I bear

A weight upon my heart, I bear the blame

For the pain I've caused, and the love that's tamed

I know I hurt you, deeply and true

Whether meant or not, the ache is still in you 

My words are hollow, without heartfelt pain

I'm sorry for the love that I couldn't sustain

Broken promises, and tears you've cried

I failed to show the love I held inside

You don't owe me trust,  it's something I must earn

If ever given, I'll strive to prove my worth again

I see the hurt I've done, and it's weight I bear

Every day, I carry it, with no one else to share

You deserved a love that cherished and protected you 

Not the pain and heartache that I put you through 

My love, I'm trying to make amends

To be the person who loves you with out ends
