Can you lie next to her, and give her your heart?
Your heart, as well as your body?

So tell me now, where was my fault?
In loving you, with my whole heart?

This sucks. A lot.
Knowing that you lied to me. Knowing that while i'm sitting here trying to figure out what I did wrong, that you're sleeping with her.
What did I do wrong?

EDIT:// It's so DARK on Google Chrome.

_{Awww! Great job on this piece, Climb~. ^u^

So, first off, you definitely succeeded in creating a piece that actually reads as "Where was my fault?" The character looks as though they have truly fallen guilty of something through the furrowed brows and lonesome, dark eyes.
The lighting (more like lack thereof) also helps to create a dark, worrisome atmosphere.
The greenish blue colors in the background complement the reddish oranges in the cat's fur, and I can see that you reflected some of the blue tints into its fur as well -- fantastic.

What really stands out to me is the smaller details that you've included on the cat such as the white whiskers, and tiny tufts of fur sticking out on the paws. I think that perhaps if you included more smaller details like those, it would improve the overall look of the piece.
Also, maybe you could try adding a bit more fur texture onto the cat next time. I see that you've done it on the lineart, but some more fur tufts around the neck might have given them a more realistic, cat-like feel. However, definitely keep that lovely watercolor texture you've got going on throughout the pelt--it looks so cool. <3

Hope this helps for your future pieces featuring this character, it came out awesome! ^u^}
