I Should Perhaps Apologize

I should perhaps- apologize to all the stars In the blue-black sky For asking all its brilliant questions to which- I merely replied... Tiny answers And for as long as I / have left to live I should perhaps- Myself forgive/ for always standing In my own way And to the man I may most likely love.. To the mystery of his existence I pray- If ever he shall ask again, If ever those dark stars Dare dream of us- I pray.. That he may be forgiving If at the end of the day It turns out - That I am stuffed, To all the world I've ever loved.... If it appears I just gave up

Your pen is very introspective. A lot of subtext and reading between the lines. A nice blanket of stars do seem to make our concerns, worries, pale in comparison ... Not sure what you need atoning for, but the mystery is what keeps me intrigued. "And for as long I have to live I should perhaps myself forgive for standing in my own way" ... this, for me, was the standout of your poem. We are our own greatest obstacles. Well expressed.
