The Expert

Seems I was the expert
on destroying everything we had,
and ruining the chances for obtaining
all of the good things we would of had.
You told me I ruined your self esteem.
I shattered hopes and I destroyed dreams.
And now even though my words may
seem insincere or sound untrue
I will take the risk of
sounding foolish to you.
Please believe me when I say
that I will always love you.

Ah,James, did you really do all that?
Perhaps those last words will be all she remembers in time.

oh...a poet voices regret.

Sounds like you need a hug.

and yanno? Our mistakes define us more than our successes--it's when we acknowledge them and feel genuine remorse and responsibility that we grow.

So..here's yer hug, lovie!

You continue to bare your soul, m'friend.

Thank you Midnitesun, serenity, littlewing, garysgirl and passing shadow for the nice responses and the hugs.
Although this happened a long time ago mistakes that affect a failed marriage have lifetime repercussions.
I don't know how many times regret will remind me that I played the part of a fool.
Who else could claim they love someone so deeply and treat them so badly?   James

This is sweet and tender in its sincerity.
Very nicely said.
