For all the times I've said I'm sorry,
I have to say I'm sorry one more time,
For to scale the mountain of my wrongs,
I cannot once stop, must keep to the climb.

I know I've you wronged so many ways,
But you don't believe my honest words,
You'd rather look at only my good parts,
My inner flowers, tall trees, and soaring birds.

You say I am a good person, really I am,
That my deepest faults are merely in my head,
Yet I claim I am selfish and quite undeserving,
And argue my deliquency and horridness instead.

I know you latch onto what you think I really am,
You think me as heroic; a dashing prince charming,
I feel the devil's grip to grow; and you: not knowing,
Not thinking my evils bad or my habits to be harming.

I say, nay I yell unto you, please heed me now,
Take my sorrow to be oh so very true,
I am so sorry, but please inside remember,
Thank you for your sentiment for I love you, too.

----------------------
To be consistent with this poem, sorry for the somewhat amateurish feel of it! For some reason, I'm in a very apologetic mood tonight.

(sigh) I believe we all have times where we feel apologetic, and that is how we grow to become more loving people we dream to be! (big hugggssssss) We all love you so much, sweet friend, God Bless You! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Streen, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

Some people go through their whole life never feeling or saying they're sorry, even when they've literally crushed someone emotionally. I really liked the honesty and sincerity I felt in this poem.
