To those who love and care,

I’m sorry I am no longer there,

I’m sorry I caused you this pain,

My love of one, has driven me insane,

Knowing I am unworthy and have lost my fight,

I must end it, on this winter’s night,

Tried to help, but I only confused,

My own feelings I abused,

I feel great pain and sorrow,

Knowing there will be no tomorrow,

With death, she does not feel or care,

As long as she remembers, I was once there,

I had dreams of her happiness,

Her touch, feel and her caress,

All is gone, all is lost,

I must pay the final cost,

If I cause pain and heartbreak,

The responsibility for this I solemnly take,

Not as emotionally strong as I thought,

Actually very weak, and was caught,

The deed is done, it’s over for me,

For you a bright future I see,

Don’t wander in distress,

Go in pursuit of your happiness,

I love you all, especially the one,

The reason I don’t feel or see the sun,

Don’t blame the one, not at all,

It was my doing, my call.
