Immune

Have I been responsible
For causing you much pain?
Just the thought that I've hurt you
Is not good for my brain

I've been selfish, out of touch
With the reality
That you've been a victim of
My lack of empathy

I do not feel like fighting
With you day after day
I wish I could change the past
If I had things my way

I don't like to admit this
But men can get hurt too
I have cried myself to sleep
Do I still care for you?

You're the only woman who
Has been honest with me
Not afraid to speak your mind
It comes naturally

I wish we were both immune
To the pain we both feel
All the scars and wounds we've had
Would absolutely heal

Maybe then, and only then
Would we both reconcile
You must know I'm still your friend
I'd walk the extra mile

I want you back in my life
And hope this happens soon
No more pain will reign our lives
If we were both immune

If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.
