I'm Sorry-Love Poem

I'm Sorry

Every time I see the pain in your eyes

A little part of my heart dies

No matter how hard and how often you try

All I seem to do is make you cry.

You risk so much and take such chance

To share your heart and your romance

You share your hopes and dreams and fears

And let me in to all that's dear

All I seem to do is be mean and cold

To fail to cherish, fail to hold

I seem to fail to put you first

You act your best, I am my worst

My mouth contradicts my heart

My actions and thoughts so far apart

I love you with every part of me

Yet act so cruel and thoughtlessly

I dream of you all night and day

And hang on every word you say

Yet all you see is selfishness and arrogance

Casual disdain and ignorance

Assumption and judgment and every thing's a test

No matter what you do you're always second best

No matter how hard you try it's never enough

I never hear your protestations of love

I say I love you and cherish all of our dreams

Yet act as if I can't hear your screams

Of need and want and stability and trust

My plans never materialize, my promises rust

I scream at myself at how stupid I am

For risking your love, for risking your hand

And I pray every day that you never see

That I need you more than you need me

I bare my heart and my soul to you

To say sorry for what I did and for what I do

I have no excuses and hide no more

All I can offer is my love for evermore.
