The first to seek forgiveness
admitting wrongs
deeper vesting in love
can it be?
“I’m sorry!”
My existence, whispering apologies
shouldering responsibility
for all the wrongs
guilt-ridden, self admonished.
“It’s my fault! “
Just a way to show
my love for you
a way to let you know
you mean more than you know.
I don’t want you to think
I’m always this wrong.
“I’m so sorry!”
Caught in my own web,
guns backfiring inside my head.
piling up the failures
apologizing for things beyond my control,
taking responsibility for others wrongs
“Forgive me”
For I have loved the most…
loved everyone so much, that I forgot
to love the one who needed it more.
Myself.
“Sorry.”
For-give.
what am I giving?
For-get.
what am I getting?
Forgiving.
Forgetting.
To live, to love,
I am not alone in this,
not everything is my wrong.
And you can’t see I’ve grown.
Old poems come back again, apparently, I had a lot to say about self-love and apologies back in 2014. Which in all honesty was a tough period of time for me, but it helped me grow and we’re here for the better.
