Oh words just cannot explain
how big a fool I've been
I lost the trust I held so dear
'cause I fell into a sin

The words of 'Im sorry'
just don't seem to be enough
to simply state how wrong I was
for all that rotten stuff

I never meant to hurt you
or make you mad at me
and if I could, I'd turn back time
and I'm sure you might agree

You brought down the bricks of my defenses
when I swore I wouldn't trust again
the last time was the last time
I would ever let someone in

And I don't know how it happened
but it happened just the same
you tore down the walls I built
and it's only me to blame

'cause while I allowed the bricks to fall down
I wouldn't allow myself to trust
so I did and said the things I did
and now it's I that you distrust

So here I sit tonight
with guilt wrapped around my heart...

To gain back the trust I lost in you
our friendship must restart!


This poem is for someone truly special in my heart that, through my own stupidity, I hurt.  There are NO possible words I can say to describe how truly sorry I am and how bad I feel, and my reasons are meaningless, so I wont even begin to give them.  To whom this poem is for (you know who you are)...I love you and I am truly, deeply, HONESTLY, sorry.. I hope one day I can gain your trus back if you allow me to!

Echo, such a great poem -- so hard to
say you are sorry and admit that you
were wrong.  So well done. I hope it
helps you earn your friend back.

Melanie, Everyone falters at times it's human nature, to forgive is also human nature, so please forgive yourself and I'm sure in time this person you love will be there by your side. Please stay strong your  special to many people.

Ruth...Glad to see you back, feeling better?

netswan...yes, it is hard, VERY HARD!!

What else can I do?  I've never felt like this before, so I'll cry an ol' blue river, in the middle of the floor.  Now I'm up to my ears in tears...
IM SORRY...IM SORRY...IM SORRY =*(

L.D...Thank you, but forgiving myself, might take longer than having this person forgive me!  *sigh*  but thats my fault!

God bless you, I just went through something so hauntingly similiar, a friendship ruined, from something I did unintenionally, it hurts doesn't it?
And you feel the magic is gone and nothing can bring it back, and you're wounded aren't you?
take peace in knowing you are not alone!

Echo~
I can see here that you truly mean what you have said, flows straight from the heart. I'm sure they will forgive
