PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I'm sorry I couldn't love you more

it wasn't my intention to make you believe

that I was alas settling an old score

you weren't wrong in your thinking

two and two should equal four

but if happy hearts aren't meant to fall in love

and upon occasion get broken then what indeed

are they truly for

I apologize for all the trouble I've caused

and for all the problems that still to this day

between us remain unresolved

my indifference to your feelings I have at last

managed to absolve

please forgive me for all the pain I inflicted

upon the innocent parties involved

you made me mostly into today who I am

but to the slaughter remember

you too took your part the leading of this

little lamb

bad and the father worse often produce an end

result in eventually being good

but one day you wake up and have to face the

fact that you can't turn the charred ashes of

what used to be back into the original wood

so you have to ask yourself can I take the chance

by backing off from where before by myself I've

always stood

and should I take such a blind chance on myself

yes, I believe each of us should

instincts know very well how to play life's cruel

little games

they know innately the odds against their losing

yet, they still continue to stoke the flesh like

flames

you were once ideally suited for me

in a time when I chose to lounge in the eloquence

of free thought

but only now can I clearly see that it was always

the plane of perpetual oneness which I secretly

sought

thank you though, for all that you brought into

our stormy relationship

I'm just sorry that in the desperate search of my

true inner self

your love I had to dismantle and cruelly strip

just between the two of us, neither of us had

the right sort of luggage for the duration of our

emotional trip

so to save ourselves I think we both now realize

we had to split

I bid you God's own good graces for now

as away from you , I must sullenly slip.........
