Retraction (To I'm Better Off)

I'm sorry for the things I've said.
I'm sorry that I only see the bad.
I never considered all the tears you shed,
The indecision that made you frustrated and mad;

The way I pushed you out of my life,
And how I mourned when you asked me to be your wife.

We're too young for this Romeo and Juliet romance,
Ironic I chose these words,
For theirs was a true romance,
At sixteen Juliet loved with her whole heart and had it torn and gird...

Just by fate...
It seems all the time we've had this same tragic affair filled with both love and hate.

I thought I had moved on, but alas me, I have not.
I'm sorry I pushed you away.
I'm sorry I wished your soul to hell to rot.
I'm sorry I didn't tell you to stay.

It isn't right.
I have a new relationship that I go into with fright.

I can't imagine being without you,
But there's a limit of chances.
I told you I was through...
To many times... To many chances.

And you deserve a better wife...
A chance at life...

I'm sorry, truly sorry I couldn't come to this realization before.
I'm sorry that I still love you when I should not.
I should never have started this stupid war.
It's my fault both our hearts are in a knot.

Please forgive me.
I'm pleading...






I still love you.

Author notes

A retraction is taking something back, so it seemed fitting. And I would like to point out that the word 'mad' in the first stanza is not a synonym for frustrated, but meaning insane.

    I plan to revise this poem: please leave constructive criticism!
