Unfortunately
How
Can I accept
Your offer to help
When that very offer
Is tainted?
By opening myself
To your love
I would also be reopening
The old wounds
Inflicted by you
Unfortunately
For both of us
Your love
Isn’t strong enough
To stop that pain
Unfortunately
For both of us
I am not
Strong enough
To move on
