That’s Why
I never apologized for leaving you when you were in pain.
I still carry the guilt like punishment— but I had to go.
The pain you gave me was unbearable. The tears I shed over you... remember that.
So maybe you thought this was the part where I’d say sorry.
But no. I’m not going to.
Because you never once asked if all that pressure you piled on me was okay.
And maybe the guilt I carry hurts more than saying sorry would.
But even if I had the choice— I wouldn’t.
Because you didn’t try. You didn’t fix it. You gave up and blamed us.
Said we broke your trust.
But the truth is— you broke me.
That’s why.
