I Went Too Far

I went too far. I know I did.

Why I don’t know. And I’m not really sure how.

But I went too far.

I promised myself I wouldn’t. Not again.

But I went to extremes again.

I broke my heart.

I am sure that if you knew, you would be sorry.

You might feel responsible.

But this time it’s all me.

I knew better. I really did.

I’m not sure I cared, though. Not that I knew.

I cared for you. More than I want to say.

More than I should have, I think.

Thoughts scratched on paper Why do this to myself?

Because I let myself fall in love with you

I knew better.

I went too far. I know I did.
