Forgive Me

Forgive me....For not being what you deserve, I was just a man who lost his nerve..... Forgive me....For not paying much attention to you, and failing to see things from your point of view..... Forgive me....For the lack of affection. Just one of my many imperfections..... Forgive me....For late night drinking. What was I thinking? Forgive me ....For failing to see the warning signs. I know you're tired of my same old lines..... Forgive me....For the broken promises and lies. I admit to being that dark cloud in your beautiful sky..... Forgive me....For selfish choices I made. Looking back now, maybe I was just afraid..... Forgive me....For not taking the time to sit down and listen. Only to be forgiven is what I'm wishin..... Forgive me!

I am amazed again of the brilliance in your work- however me myself and I would change the 12th line before you send all this stuff to some publisher- -this is off topic but I must put my foot down about `the poetic warlock`- it ain't you- and it is definitive- come on man- change it

This is a heartfelt poem,sounds like you mean it, and I hope for yourself you do. So maybe that is a healing step, poetry is great to get in touch with your own feelings. Nice poem, Judy Riley Thanks for your comment on my poem "To say goodbye" That is about my nieghbors kids that got into gangs and trouble,one got shot, the other killed himself. it is a rough world . Peace Judy Riley

Fogiveness is tranquility of soul, I know for myself, if I think I hurt someone I'm the first one to say sorry.At the same time, other's love for you isn't contingent on you being loveable. For only authentic love can fully embrace the heart of soul. Love is naturally drawn to itself, that's how we recognize it as being pure. You have a wonderful heart Jimmy I can see that too. Take good care of yourself and keep writing! Love Light Patty

True repentence is acceptable to God even if the person will not forgive you. Keep writing. We also have to be able to forgive ourselves.Sara
