I Wish

I wish I could take back the words that sliced through you like a dagger's blade. I wish I could take back the mean slashes of verbal whips that have cut across you heart. I wish I could take back the bruises of the negative punches that have made you fall. I wish I was able to pick you up, dusk you off and forget it all ever happened. But I can't and I hope you forgive me for not being perfect
