AN APOLOGY



I'm sorry for the sorrow I've caused.

I feel the hurt on me.

I'm sorry if I offended you.

I feel the animosity.



I filled your head with thoughts of love,

then turned to another man.

But he could never replace you,

no one ever can.



As much as I do love you,

I know you'll never be free.

As much as my heart yearns for you,

you can never be with me.



I'd die to make you happy,

as my weary heart but cries.

I'd live my life in your solitude,

but from me,

you hide.



I'm sorry that you don't need me

the way that I need you.

Although I turned to another man,

he cannot fill your shoes.



For now, I heed our differences.

I wonder what life I would lead,

if your eyes sought no other,

if your eyes burned for me.



For now, I console our differences,

and realize you are miles away,

but my traveling love will never cease,

or ever fade away.



I'm sorry for the sorrow I caused, I'm sorry for my love.

But most of all

I'm sorry for all the tied knots

that have come undone



HIS REPLY





I don't have time for your petty games,

your wisdom, or your truths.

I don't have time to fulfil your needs,

your destiny, or dreams come true.



I have my own life,

with one woman I love.

Together we've built a foundation.

I cannot be there for your wanting heart,

nor be your destination.



Why do you pry? And medel between

the bond that started us so clean?



Why do you pressure me to leave her stripped bear,

when she needs me more then you'll ever care?



I cannot see it the way you do,

I am but one man, through and through.

I don't have time to stop and think,

about who could be my destiny.



But I do have time to invest in her.

afterall it's been three years.

Look, you know I love you, I do,

but not the way you need me to.



I don't have time to play this game, of who I love more,

of who I should hate.



You are nothing but a dream to me,

a faceless name and a fantasy.



You bring out my true desires,

but she fulfills them,

and ignites a fire.



You confuse me, and give me doubts!

You enrage me to let it all out.

Maybe if things were another way...

Maybe you could take her place.



But you, you are much different then me.

Although we share some qualities.



Look at you! Crying over a man you've never met!

Look at you becoming weak and upset.

I am the cause of the pain you conceed.

and yet you claim that love plants the seed.



But burried deep at the very core,

is instilled doubt, and so much more.



Mixed feelings, and vines that grip.

My heart is captured and begins to rip.



You are but a dream to me

and it's time for me to wake up.



You, you have no idea what love is.

I am but a man you made up.
