This poem is based on an actual relationship, which occurred over 30 years

You uncovered Your heart, my lack of wisdom, Remorse can’t describe. If time was replayed, I’d have shared more heart your way, Seen actions fore hurt. I intended no pain, I thought we could break cleanly, But my thoughts were wishful. Now I can’t undo, And choose the outcome anew, I apologize. I hope this allows, Flow, where feelings were stopped, Recall hurts, even today. Unable to salve, What callous things seemed right, Years cannot dissolve. I thought I could solve, The world’s pain extent with soft Words, instead of hearing.
