Please Forgive Me, Allie
A simple poem of apology
Is nothing more than feeling
But every word and phrase
Comes from my heart and every being
You are a blessing from the Lord
A gift I took for granted
Don’t ever feel less than that
For you’re the friend I’ve always wanted
Seeking a place of solitude
I tried to hide from you
Attempting to mend the pain
That sticks to me like glue
Through the frowns and thoughtlessness
I’m sure you already guessed
That these last few days of hurting you
Have really been a mess
I know from the bottom of my heart
That I’ve been less than fair
When I hid from everyone
In silence and despair
The wounds I used to mask me
You saw it through with kindness
You comforted me, accepted me
Led me through the darkness
Looking back on the years gone by
The memories I hold so dear
I see you in every one of them
As I shed a single tear
If there’s one thing I regret the most
It’s ever hurting you
And I appreciate all the things you’ve done
So genuinely and so true
Please forgive me, Allie
And know that you are beautiful
I hope our friendship grows forever
More cherishing and wonderful
