How We Feel

do you know how i feel,
when you turned your back on me,
walked on and on,
without looking back even once?

do you know how i feel,
when i found out about the story,
crushing my heart to pieces,
without even a sign of regret?

do you know how i feel,
when the betrayal started to sink in,
nothing seems to make sense,
without anyone to help me stand again?

now i know how you feel,
when you walked away from me,
you were hiding the tears in your eyes,
for all the hurt you've caused me.

now i know how you feel,
when you told me the story,
the guilt was so overwhelming,
and you couldn't bear to be yourself.

now i know how you feel,
now i understand,
that the person hurting someone else,
hurts himself as well.
