I'm sorry, so very sorry
I didn't mean I hate you
Stupid anger always gets the best of me
Can you forgive me?
I was wrong, so very wrong
I should never have turned my back on you
Pride always getting in my way
Please forgive me
Our years together
Were all I could ever dream for
Somewhere along the way
I started taking you for granted
Now I reach out to a cold touch
A blank stare
I beg you...
Forgive me
I love you
I need you
You make me whole
I meant to say all those things
Now I do
While I'm staring at your coffin
Is it too late?
Do you hear me?
Do you forgive me?

Great!
"Sorry seems to be the hardest word", Elton John once sang, a word not spoken often enough, and sometimes said when it's too late. You've penned a rather sad poem here of anger towards ones self, such pain to live with knowing you missed the wave goodbye, emotions felt, great write and worthy gold winner.
-
awwww I know those words all to well spoken in anger, and than to pay the price later, another great write you have penned here
-
this kinda reminds me of my poem "Angelic"
it is a painful thought to deal with (apologizing to the one you love once they are gone for good, hoping that they can hear you and praying that they forgive you)
thanks for the entry

AMAZING!
Oh my!!! Did you have ME surprised! This is an incredible piece, whisper! And how very true! As humans, we need to constantly be reminded of how few chances we may have to ask forgivness from those we love! We just never know when it will be too late. This is just a stunning write! I'm blown away!
Excellent write!!!
Paula

wow. great write (as everyone esle said). this is beautifully written. i hoe its not true, i hope you did not loose someone. it would suck, bigtime if you and someone where in a fight, and they died, so you had no chance to appologize. this is beautiful.*wipes tear from eye*

It's so sad. Very well written. You're a great poet.
-
I know this feeling too many times over. I kept thinking, I have to call Aunt Carol right after Christmas but I was too busy. She died on New Year's Day. At least she didn't suffer for long - we found out New Year's Eve that she has pneumonia. So...you did an excellent job at portraying these feelings - congrats on the gold!
-
wow, this was very strong, and true. Everytime you want to say someting to someone it's always too late. Great write, nice moral, keep up the good work!
-
a really powerful write, and so true. great job, and keep penning these awesome poems that reflect your soul.
-

Another flashback...I had a friend who I could imagine saying this to. Her and I..aren't friends anymore but sometimes I really miss her. It's hard, shes on this site but she never posts anymore. But you did a great job with this..things like this are so hard, and how you got your message through was a hard hit on some readers im sure. Thanks for sharing and I hope you did/do well in this contest!

Very sadly touches deep within!
Many a times, chances to say
how loved ones mean so much to us
is often missed, to really say
what they meant to us, until
it is too late...a great entry!!
Excellent piece of work here!!!
-
how easy it is to regret something after being said and done and anger does get the best of most of us at some point or another. 
-
wow... that's very very sad and very wonderful. Great job.
-
Wow, this is awesome. I love the flow and the repetitive lines, would make a wonderful song. I love the end, it made me want to beg for more. Of course, a great writer always leaves the reader wanting more, so I believe you've achieved great writer status here
Very nice write -----
Ho||oW |rose| -
You are hear and I am sure forgiven. This is really good writing. I look forward to reading more.

what is that suppose to mean?

Beautifully Haunting
One of the worst feelings one can ever feel is that of not getting the chance to make things right after death, for guilt constrains the heart in the living. Live life as it, not as how it comes to be.
A very well-written piece of poetry, with a very chilling realization in the end. Once again, you've amazed me. Good luck with the contest, you're very much a strong contender. Kudos to you. -
It's so easy to say ILU. Practice and it becomes habit, then no regrets. Thank you for sharing.
-
OHhhh my goodness Not only did this bring tears
to my eyes... but it took a turn that I really didn't
expect. I was thinking of a break up... love split
apart... and you wanting that forgiveness. Then,
I get to the end of the poem.... to find out that it
was death that split the love. oh wow...what a write...
That second to last stanza gave me chills upon chills... it
was a devastating end. Wow. What a write!
I agree...second chances may never come... we need to tell
those that mean so much, just what we want to say...before
it's too late.
Wonderfully written!!
Good luck in the contest, I think I
feel a trophy coming on for this one!
Keep writing!

Me too
Geeze...They say that loved ones speak to us in pink roses and I was just beating myself up over things I've said and done that it is too late to edit while missing my mother today. Mother passed away February 10, 2003. I think my coming to your poem is your angel and my angel saying the only person not forgiving us is us.
W hispernthedark you are forgiven
H eavenly angels now have spoken
I nvest your thought on happier memories
S pecial times that went perfectly
P eople say hindsight is 20/20
E specially after losing a loved one
R emember if God forgives us we must too
N ow we know better and can do better
T oday is the first day of the rest of your life
H ealing balm of Gilead is coming to you
E njoy the happy memories and forget the bad
D etermined to celebrate all that you shared
A lways carry forward on a wing and a prayer
R ight or wrong nobody is ever perfect
K eep that thought in an angelic forgiving pact

I really liked this poem... it's so very true... in the bible it says don't let the sun go down before you make a means with the person you are fighting with... your poem is one of MANY cases... well done it was very well written.
God Bless

oh how often I have seen this very thing in my grandmother to my grandfather, my sister fighting with her husband the night he died, and so many other places in friends and strangers lives...never go to bed or away angry, it may last an eternity,and scar your soul forever....Artis
