Sorry I care about you I guess.

It really hurts. Why are you doing this to me? You keep hurting me, and I don't know why. I want to, but you make it so hard. Am I taking this too seriously? Or do you really just hate me?

I'm sorry I care about you.

All the times you made me laugh, I hold onto them like a lifeline. Because I want to like you, but do you want to like me? You know that time I was sad, and you cheered me up with just a bad joke? Why does it feel like that's the only thing keeping us together now?

I'm sorry I talk so much.

Every argument we have feels so heavy. I say something that I thought would be just a passing moment, but it ends up turning into a lifetime of bared teeth.

Maybe we'll be better when we're older. We'll look back and laugh at all the things we took too far. And I'll think, “Can you believe I wrote a whole article about how much you hurt me?” But maybe not, because I don't want you to see my pain. I know you'll just laugh.

I'm sorry if I hurt you.

I didn't mean to. I know hurt people hurt people. But I wish I knew why you hurt. I wish you could tell me, so I could understand. Maybe then we'd be better.

I'm sorry I exist.

Do you wish I wasn't born? You probably do. I know I'm just a burden in your life. So why does it hurt so much? You're right, it probably would be better if I just wasn't here.

I want you to know I'm sorry, sincerely.

But was

it ever really my fault?

This is a great piece. The wording in it is beautiful and paints such a sad picture. You captured the feeling of sadness and hurt perfectly and the way you kept apologizing to the other person is very sad and provokes a lot of sympathy. The question at the end leaves it somewhat open ended (at least to me) but also concrete at the end, like it's uncertainty but also a confidently asked question. At least that's what I got from it.
Keep up the good work, you're great at writing! I really enjoyed reading this

This piece of work made me feel so much sympathy for the speaker .
The repeat of the variations of ways the speaker is sorry just made my heart break that little more .
The ending where you end in a question it gives a different side, because throughout the piece of writing the speaker blames them self and at the end they are question whether it was truly their fault . It’s like we can see the speakers thought process in the writing . I think overall it’s a good piece and I enjoyed reading it :)
