i know i brought you to this place,
led you to this fire...
i opened up the doors of hell,
tempted you with desire.

i wanted more than i could give
and more than i could see,
and somewhere in your trusting heart
you put your faith in me.

and there i see that my own choice,
my hope and selfishness,
has brought you to this sacrifice
and given you distress.

it must be hard to see the ash
and not call out to blame
and if it were my life in smoke
i know i'd feel the same.

but somehow even here and now,
with all the strife and pain,
i plead with you to walk the coals
and look at this as gain...

and should this prove too much for you
and leave you feeling numb,
i can't regret the way i've loved
and sorry just won't come.

I really like your perspective in this poem. It has alot to say about the other side when a couple breaks up. Welcome to passions.

First off, I have to thank you.  I thank you for opening my eyes.  I've been upset with myself for loving someone, for caring about them.  But now I realize that I shouldn't be sorry.. and I'm not.  Very well written poem.  Everyone should read this poem.  Nobody should be sorry for loving someone.

Beautiful....
I have often wondered if it is better to love and not be loved in return or to be loved and not love back.....You have a very strong message here.

I can see my ex writing something like this to me.  I guess its strange to see the other side of things.

I'm not going to say that you shouldn't apologize for the way that you felt then.  But, what happened if this didn't work out?

Or, this could be just a poem.  But see?  You've made me think.

Just milling around back here, and I found this.  Hope that there's more.
