Apology Accepted

Fill me with lies No goodbyes Kill me with sorrow No tomorrow Break me with words This is absurd Drown me with hate Is it too late? To apologize...to apologize Look me in the eyes... And apologize... You will never understand me And you’re never going to find me You took a part of me That didn't belong to you Well, live with what you got I have nothing more to lose Leave me here to rot I have nothing more to lose And if i do... The only thing I'm losing is you... So fill me with lies Say your goodbyes Shoot me with sorrow There's always tomorrow Your words can't break me Your hate can't drown me Look me in the eyes You absurd man It's never too late To apologize...

Oh, it's strange how some guys won't apologize...it's like admitting they'd done something wrong! One of my sons has difficulty with the 'I'm sorry'.:) Love 'im anyway!! This is a very deep and resounding write, Laura. Keep well! Best wishes, Mikki

I like how you reversed everything in the 2nd half of your poem, mirroring the 1st half. I hope he apologizes!

Funny thing Laura, we seem to be on the same wave length with men and emotions here. So full of emotion; a great write with a lot of hurt in it.

The hurt of heart; crossroad betwixt both mind and soul resonates with words to all.

When I read "...Well, live with what you got I have nothing more to lose..." and then the final words, I get shivers. Having been that stubborn, prideful man and losing a loving, forgiving woman has fueled much of what I write. This is a testament to the strength of a womans heart. Awesome writing - Chuck
