Best Apology Poems
Were you the angel who held on tight
through my darkest hours ‘til the new day’s rise?
Did you tuck me in, memories erase,
‘til I drifted off, comfortably embraced?
And the song I heard at the edge of night ~
was it yours that helped me to greet sunlight?
I remember how each day felt brand new
waking up with joy, opening eyes to you.
I relinquished peace, sacrificed too much ~
I, with concrete needs, longed for you to touch,
so I, selfishly, tried to turn and run,
but have missed you every day since then.
Your apology
Changed me
Opened me up
Helped me to feel
Understand the gift of you
By illuminating my understanding
Of who you are
The we-ness of us
You broke down
The walls I had erected
To protect myself
There was no need to fortify
Or keep you at my fringes
For your love
Is my completeness
Yesterday's sorrows
Invaded my heart
Caused me to restrict my voice
Holding back
I made the wrong choice
Denied what was important to me
Kept my heart at bay
Yet you opened me in a different way
As I listened to what you had to say
Your mind explored
Deep within me
beyond my words
It was my soul cry you heard
Bringing on a wave of tears
You listened
With more than just ears
Unpacking a treasure
Dissolving shadowed fears
Revelatory images
From my broken mirror
I was comforted
By you being near
In the end
An apology
Was your greatest gift for me
It showed me a different way to be
I rose up from the muck
To a place where I could see
Where I touched and was thankful
For the you in we
Who helped me finally be
Emptied of those things I held back
The long lost
restricted
parts of me
Dear mama,
I apologize for the aches,
And all the pain,
I apologize for struggle in your
heart,
Torturing your veins,
I apologize for the stressful tears,
On account of non-listening ears,
I hear your melancholy weeps,
From a mind that never sleeps,
I know the fake smile you keep,
Will break you suddenly,
I am sorry for the things making you
sick,
I am sorry you had to grow up
quick,
Even when you shout hate,
I see love in your eyes,
Out of your heart you apologize,
But, this is my apology to you,
For all the things I put you through,
I apologize for the things you never
had,
Just to make us glad,
I apologize for the unpaid bills,
that has you taking headache pills,
I thank you for your vigilance,
But, I can't sit and watch,
The other half is gone,
And you're fighting alone,
Somebody got to be the MAN of the
house,
We can't always sit on the couch,
Mama I appreciate the things you
do,
I thank God for you,
I apologize if my actions never
show,
I Love You,
You bring peace and healing to my
soul.
Sorry if I upset you,
I really didn’t mean it
Actually, I meant it
Until I saw it upset you,
Now I’m sorry you are
Upset by my words
But I got them said,
Which I intended to do.

POEM OF THE DAY
Poetry Soup
September 14, 2022
I played a joke on PD
but PD took it seriously
now PD is mad at me
and threatening to leave like a big cry baby.
You don't have to leave the pub or the soup PD.
From this day foward I will ignore the most sensitive PD
who doesn't have a sense of humor obviously.
Sorry to have offended the notorious PD
here is my last and most sincere apology PD.
I'm Sorry PD.
we found eachother,
lost in pain that we both knew,
we loved eachother,
but the distance only grew,
i was here,
and you were there,
no word of conversation,
i still remember all those things you said,
they gave my heart a reincarnation,
you were my love,
my sweet vampire,
the wind that carried off my rain,
you whispered to me,
and i felt your arms,
as we kissed away our pain,
though we loved eachother,
we wrote together,
of love and pain and blood,
the distance only seemed to grow,
and then to tear us apart,
you found a girl,
it broke my heart,
i cried and accepted the inevitable,
you and i would always be apart,
there was nothing i could do about it,
i fell in love,
i didnt mean to,
but it was one of the best mistakes i could make,
i broke your heart,
and still i miss you,
but perhaps this was our fate,
i never wanted to forget to say,
that i love you and i always will,
i never wanted to forget to say,
im sorry, i wish we could have worked out,
perhaps if things were different,
and this land mass wasnt so large,
perhaps if we had held tighter,
and had a solid heart,
we found eachother,
and fell in love,
lost in a pain that we both shared,
my dearest Wind im sorry for this,
that our love, could only last here...
Heart aches a great deal.
Feeling the guilt' real.
Pouring through my eyes is tears;
Unable to put in words my fears.
Though am the partial wrong doer'
I wouldn't like to justify, as it is over.
And to you i sing this apology song,
As i cannot forget you for a second long,
For the mistake i committed, knowing,
Just avoiding your advices from following.
Frightened, that the love you bestowed would cease,
I plead you to forgive me and bestow your love in ease.
Punish me with word or hand.
Never ever band me from experiencing your love,
As you are my second mother,
And my heart gives no place to another.
Accept my apology!
I whisked the heavens for a soothing sign
Swirled moonlight of Luna’s crescent smile
Searching for redemption's last sinew
That a wounded love faithfully clings to
I asked the stars for strength of sterling sight
To illuminate the missteps of a fractured mind
Trapped in a glass garden of Eden’s broken heart
Fragrant pieces of her sorrow carved into mine
I tasted the poison of regurgitated resolve
Memories marinating on the tip of my teething tongue
But forgiveness does not dangle on unspoken words
Which need not be poetic, but merely heard
(Co-written by my son for a school assignment)
I punched my sister
in the stomach
to try to retrieve
my goldfish crackers
She cried like fish droppings
because her stomach hurt
then the smell of vomit
heaved upon my chest
My apologies spilled
like her putrid crackers
I'm sorry
I didn't punch her in the face instead
6/10/20
We are ashamed, sir dear
We are ashamed.
Neither the earth glistened
In the ray of good time,
Nor we are still
In the way of good time.
Pen is serving, not right
But the mighty lord,
Kneeling bowing bending,
Instead of superseding sword.
Nations still quarrel
To prove them stronger.
Men are being slaughtered
For the sake o f honour.
Men are being burned,
Terror rules the world,
Birth, not the worth
Still fools the world.
War, the monster of iniquity
Has worn different masks.
Somewhere proving pride
Somewhere deadly tasks.
We couldn't bring the good time
The good time once you dreamt.
‘'Let us aid what we can''
We have forgotten what you meant.
Dear God, my love for you flickers in wavering shadows,
Caught between the whispers of evening prayers
And the intoxicating allure of liquor’s path.
I am well aware that this habit I cling to displeases you,
Yet I beseech you, dear God, how can I find repose?
How can I surrender to sleep’s embrace?
Your kindness, a radiant beacon in the vast expanse,
Leaves me in awe.
But within your world, cruelty dominates.
From the break of dawn till the descent of dusk,
I confront the unyielding face of Your world’s reality.
A realm steeped in injustice and hostility,
Where love and compassion are futilely sought,
Their traces lost amidst the clamor.
In the sheltering hours of twilight,
I yearn to release the burdens that plague me,
To erase the echoes of nonsense, pain, and regret
That haunt my being.
And so, I turn to the amber elixir,
With its seductive allure,
Hoping to numb the jagged edges,
Seeking refuge and respite
In its transient embrace.
But God, please understand,
I do not fit into the vast tapestry of your grand design.
This world, this test of existence, eludes me,
Leaving me adrift in its absurdity.
Chaos and suffering entwine,
Weaving a complex web that ensnares those within its grasp.
And yet, despite this darkness that enshrouds,
My love for you remains steadfast,
Clutched tightly in my trembling hands.
I extend my apology, baring my heart’s vulnerable core,
Yearning for you, God, to witness and share
In the weight of my burdens,
The profound depths of my pain.
In your infinite understanding,
May I find peace and love,
My spirit reaching towards
The solace of your compassionate embrace.
Dear God, let your smile grace my wearied countenance,
Illuminating the path as I traverse the trials of this desolate place.
In the twilight’s whispered prayer,
Within the sweet surrender to liquor’s embrace,
I seek but a fragment of peace,
A fleeting glimpse of your boundless grace.
Though I stumble and fall amidst this relentless test,
Let it be known that my love for you
Will forever find its resting place.
For I am naught but a human,
Flawed and fragile,
Yet in my unwavering devotion,
Let my spirit prevail,
Resolute in its pursuit
Of your eternal presence.
…
I loved you...
But i guess it was a joke, as I lay here and cry
You live life happy
As I cared so much for you
And in the end, I get hurt
Everyday goes by
But I am still waiting without you
You are constantly on my mind
When I think of happy times
I start to cry
When you broke my heart
I said things
Things that were wrong
I feel so bad about it
When I try to tell you
You act like you don't know me
I did things to hurt you
But it came back in my face
So please forgive me
Forgive my mean side
I did it out of love
I did it out of anger
You were someone really special
You made my day
I felt so good with you
You are the sweetest person to be with
When it ended
I wanted to ruin my life
Then something said he would come back
But after a while, it got worse
Everyday I think of you
How I should feel so sorry
I wish I could tell you
I wish you would understand,
What you meant to me
How you hurt me,
How I hurt you.
Maybe one day you will make some girl
Feel as special as you made me feel.
Treat her well.
Love her.
Make her feel special.
But always remember,
I miss you.
I will never forget you.
The fun we had together.
Never forget me
Also that you are special to me...
Feeling hurt, discomfort with other’s demeanor
More often than not
I crawl into silence promptly
More often than not
I brush off true feeling
More often than not
I dismiss my ache
More often than not
Giving permission for their behavior to replay
From Today Onwards
forevermore
Say "thank you, I accept your apology"
forevermore
Honor my innermost feelings
forevermore
Set boundary for emotional limits
forevermore
Create a greater sense of harmony in relationship
forevermore
Accepting their request for forgiveness
Shall I do penance for my hasty words,
or poise myself on this quaint narrow quay
to smell the salty perfume of the sea,
on platinum ship sail so far away?
I quiver with trepidation and dread.
Forgive my horrid rashly spoken speech
before I venture this stormy voyage.
Assuage my repentant heart I beseech.
Alas I am in sad, sad quandary.
I pray you hear my true profound remorse,
accept my ardent amends and redress,
before I embark on this lonely course.
A Love Letter Of Apology
Dear Ádè, I know I've done you wrong,
I'm sorry for the hurt I've brought along,
Please forgive me, my heart's in pain,
My head's a mess, I know I'm to blame.
I never meant to make you cry,
I hope you know, it's not goodbye,
I want to hold you, in my arms,
And tell you how I feel, with all my charms.
I'm sorry for the words I said,
I'm sorry for the tears you've shed,
I want to make it right again,
To fix what's broken, mend the pain.
I want to start anew, and show,
That my love for you will forever grow,
Please forgive me, my heart's sincere,
I want to make things clear and clear.
I love you, and that's all I know,
I want to make our love aglow.
