I Told You So

How can I explain to you
that this is all that I have
That all I know is pain
and suffering
and walking through fires
that never seem to end
And how can you berate me
for the one action I refrain from
hating myself for?
For searching for someone to walk through with me
How can I give you the apology
I know you expect
How can I take one more
I told you so
when what you told me
isn’t the solution to every question,
every problem
that I never asked you to fix?
Everything is so simple to you.
How can I explain
that it’s just
not?
