I'm Sorry: A Sonnet by Grace

I'm sorry I couldn't be there that day.
You were always there when I needed you.
You needed me to help you brave the fray.
When I didn't, you hardly made it through.1

I'm sorry I'm so unreliable,
That I could never keep my promises.
And my wrongs are so undeniable,
Covering up your pain with calm kisses.2

I'm sorry I didn't believe in you,
So untrusting of what I could not see,
That half the time I knew not what was true.
I know now that with me here, you're not free.3

Don't come after me, that's all I implore.
I'm leaving now, before I break you more.

    I think that a lot of people have felt this way, which you have expressed so well with this poem. Great job!

    Another emotional poem, wonderfully writen. I always seem to be the one let down not the one doing the letting down though. You can truely capture emotion in your words and sum them up in a short meaningful poem at that. There is no rambling, repatition, just well organized emotion.

      Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. =) It wasn't really me talking to a person, though. It was just a poem I wrote.

    Amazing work!

    Yet another masterpiece by Grace

    Sounds like you've wronged someone, and now you're not going back because you're afraid you'll hurt them more. Though, there's no point in me repeating that because it's written in the last stanza Just trying to make you understand that I understand it. lol.
