The Compassion I Didn't Have

We thought life would have been so simple: flowers and hugs, sentimental nights and songs; then, reality came with its pain... we were no longer that invincible, rather two people so gullible! The compassion I didn't have hurts inside, now it's tearing me apart, I denied you more than love; it should have been lasting, not so short! Loneliness is my enemy, you don't feel sympathy... hell is your gift to me; can a blind man see? The compassion I didn't have makes me weak, not brave; I deserve this cruel punishment: let me grieve in my confinement! Does anybody, who lacks empathy, live her life forgetting who loved her? good memories are sweet honey, bad memories are bitter and linger!
