How do I tell you I'm sorry -
With a gesture, a look, a touch?
How is it I never realized
I hurt you so very much?
I do not ask forgiveness,
A comfort I'll never deserve.
I merely want to let you know,
But I cannot find the nerve.
To finally confront you, face-to-face,
To look you in the eye,
To face your wrath, your apathy -
Too terrified to try.
You called me selfish, I turned away,
I festered and I fled;
Cutting and wounding and lashing out,
Just to see if you bled.
Betraying and deceiving you,
I surely had no right
To snatch away such a precious gem;
A dark thief in the night.
Four days like forever passed
To bring me here this day,
When I present these simple words
I never thought to say.
The time has come, it's long past due,
To put aside my fear;
Would this confession torture you,
Or have you longed to hear?
To hear those two forbidden words,
To vanquish all the pain,
To understand my dearest wish:
To know you once again.
The days aged me remarkably,
Though they have not made me wise;
I do know I erred irrevocably -
For that I apologize.

ReplyDeleteI tried, I wonder why !
I liked the poem "SORRY" and here's the messge I wrote for it
Hey Munish,
Been a real long time since I had been actively writing and here I landed on
one of my fav blog's once again.
I read this poem not once, not twice much more...for each time I read it
traces memories of events I can relate too. I again wont ask you if such emotions pour out when u personally face such instances but you have an
ability to establish this emotional connect.
The consistent flow of thoughts you maintain when you write leaves me
spellbound in the awe of you style.
Great writing buddy :)
Cheers
