Finishing a Sorry

Where to start to say I'm sorry to you... I tried to stay on a path but fell like so many do... I struggle to find the right look and words to say... So in my treasure trove I sweep them all where they can stay... The pencil is held tight in my hand... But the letters are lost like grains of sand... I can't paste together the things I have shattered... My fingers are bruised and slightly tattered... So I now group them all and I hope it heals this heart... For too many years have passsed since this poem made a start... I pray those sweet eyes are bright and a little less blurry... And some day you will know how I am very sorry... written for The Sweethearts "Treasure Trove" contest by Michael J Falotico Thank you Linda, this is true and needed to be written...

You stated above that its true... I'm sure we all hurt somebody everynow and then,cos we are all human.Asking forgivness have never been easy,yet had always felt wonderful after its done..I think we all can relate to this,and I hope you'll be forgiven :)
