PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Those things you told me laying in bed,

What you wanted for me, for you,

For us.

Those were pretty pictures, flights of whim.

The life you had planned,

All the things we could do.



Looking back,

I realize how much ive done,

I see how many dreams we had.

I can only begin to fathom what this meant to you.



I cant begin to apologize to you for these things,

So all i can do is start here....



Im sorry,

Those dreams turned to nightmares,

Im sorry the times when you wanted whats best for us

And all i could do were the things that were worst for you.

Im sorry for those things i said,

I thought i would protect you,

To keep you safe,

Away from all that was wrong.

Too late did i realize that i was the wrong,

That i embodied the antithesis of all that you wanted.

While you were dreaming of sunny fields,

I was walking on shadowy paths.



While you planned for our future,

I was thinking of the things that would destroy us.

I wish this didnt have to be so bad,

I wish our parting wasnt so sad.

I thought i was doing the right thing

When i realized how wrong i was,

I tried to set things straight,

I tried to take this off your plate.

I took myself away,

I thought i would do right that fateful day.

Too late did i realize how much you loved me,

Too late did i realize you believed in me.

Too bad you were the only one who did.

I never could,

Seems like i never would.

For this i apologize.

I gave up when you were willing to fight on.

With the sound of screeching tires i brought this to an end.



Im sorry for your dreams, lost to the stars.

Im sorry for myself, so far away.

Only now can i hope well meet under those same stars.
