Can You Forgive Me

Would it help to say I’m sorry about the misery I brought? I never wanted to hurt you, whether you believe that or not. I’m not happy seeing you cry, fueling anxiety’s climb. And I’ll disappear from your life if you say, I'm wasting my time. You must believe that I acted like I did because I love you. And I thought if I felt that way, naturally, you loved me too. I never thought for a moment that you'd fall for another man. And when I saw him kissing you, I freaked out, and he up and ran. I can't say I'm sorry he left, but I'm sorry I made him flee. And I’m begging you on my knees, please darling, can you forgive me? (Quatrain) 2/16/2015

A heartfelt apology carries much weight. And, hopefully, brings the desired result. Good luck to you. Thanks for sharing.

Well, I big on forgiveness -- asking and giving, seems like she may need to do some asking . . . I say mercy not pity -- you don't need her to feel sorry for you. Love these types of poem -- raw, powerful, heart-felt. Much love and light dear friend.
