If You'Re Sorry For What You Did, Why Do You Keep Hurting Me? Poem by Pete Rivera

Please, dear, don't cry, I know
Exactly how you're feeling
All the thoughts I've conjured
Can't stop all the problems
That I'm dealing with

I can't stop the rain from falling
But neither can I prevent the lightning
From striking down my soul
The arrow of hate has cut a hole
Into my bleeding heart

And let me tell you exactly how I feel
Because you know the way I feel is real

You broke my heart into so many pieces
The blood is on the ground
And I don't know whether I'm lost
Or if I'm found..

So open your eyes to see
How much I have been hurting
And all the sorrys in the world
Cannot begin to form
The slightest possibility
Of an apology

And let me tell you exactly how I feel
Because you know the way I feel is real

You broke my heart into so many pieces
The blood is on the ground
And I don't know whether I'm lost
Or if I'm found..

Oh, my heart is broken into so many pieces
And the blood is on its way to the ground
And I can't tell whether I'm lost
Or if I'm found

So, please, dear, don't cry, I know
Exactly how you're feeling
All the thoughts I've conjured
Can't stop all the problems
That I'm dealing with
