Forgive me, love
I have sinned.

Ignorance
is no defense
nor idiocy
though, both I own.

Disappointment
to perfection
what else could I have been
what else can I say
save forgive me
save me.

The road to hell
paved
unintentionally
and yes
you warned me.

Please
don’t give up on us.
I’ll try harder
tomorrow.

It’s no excuse
I know
but it’s the truth
I am so very tired
more flawed
than you expected.

I love you
imperfectly
with everything I am.

Forgive me, love.

Forgetting all I'm lacking
Completely and complete
I'll take your invitation
You take all of me

===================================


not even "distilling" can lessen the ache and regret that bleeds down the page in this.
pretty much takes all a moths words...
lucky you...you get spared my ramblings..
I've yet to learn this art of distill, that you do so damn well.

Duncan, no one is perfect. Everyone has flaws (even the ones who think they don't). I do hope you will be forgiven. Best wishes for you.

Love is never perfect, I suppose. But I bet you come close, so have faith.

Duncan,  none of us are perfect...Certainly

Duncan,
We've all made the speech but not likely as well done as yours. Thanks for not groveling.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

you have expressed magnificently
what I so often unarticulate
to myself
thanks for the great poem

I'd forgive you and take you anytime but my "kitty" would get jealous.  Spoken like a man that knows he is a man and in love.  Well said.

I stand in awe of a greater man than myself.
With a more exposed heart than mine.
With a compassion greater than mine.
Who has more understanding of life itself.
I am humbled.
A beautiful use of words held together by their own gossamer web.
Thank you - I have printed this one out for future use!!!!!
Kind thoughts
John
