There is a pain

That lives very deep

Inside of my heart.

It was caused by

The words that

Were left unspoken

Between you and I

When you were killed.

I live with this pain

Everyday since your death.

I replay everyday

The angry words I said

The last time that

We ever spoke.

I should have trusted you

And realized that it was

Just a test of my integrity.

You never gave up

Your hope in me.

The week before your death

You still thought of me.

You cared.

That's who you were.

You cared!
