I’m not the bad guy

Dear love,

I'm sorry this isn't the love letter

You always wished I would write.

I don't know why you'd want one,

You should know I love you.

I know last night I kissed you

And promised you I'd change

But I've done some thinking

And now I need some space.

I know I've hurt you before

But I'm not the only one

Every time you shed a tear

I wanted to curl up and die.

It kills me because

You know damn well

I'm not the bad guy

You make me out to be.

How can you do this to me?

I can't help that

I don't love you.

I did it to protect you.

I shunned you

I hurt you

I cheated on you

So I wouldn't break your heart.

You have no idea

How much I hurt

As I did all that for you.

I'm not the bad guy.
