Apologies

Sometimes words are not enough,
No matter how full they're of love.
Sometimes blood cannot repay,
The lasting anger of mistakes.

And these tears uselessly fall,
Blinding, burning the eyes whole.
And the pain threatens to stay:
For you I lived every day.

I fought so hard to try and see
If I could improve my techniques,
And be the best that I could be:
Again, I failed, so hopelessly.

Pain seems to be my only gift.
To those I love, it's all I give,
Problems, fights, it's only pain,
The consequence of my mistakes.

Thought again that I could help,
Now my strength has gone and fled;
I crushed a hope and can't forget;
Can't, unless you do, forgive myself.

Tears and blood are not enough,
Nor are these words of love.
To pay the loss and pain:
What can I give for my mistake?

Author notes

Not one of my best...My apologies to someone. I just hope he forgives me, for my heart belongs to him.

    Love Pain

    Pain seems to be my only gift.
    To those I love, it's all I give,
    this is the most beautiful extempore expression...though seemingly hoplessness but it is much more than that...very sweet...like pain of love

    I am glad to see you understand, and to know my silly poetry has touched you in any way. Alas, love can be so good and yet so painful: I wonder what is the purpose of all this suffering? I wonder why can't I write out of happiness and love like others, and why pain moves me faster to write? It angers me sometimes, like all the time I was with my ex, I barely wrote. Perhaps it was also being focused on many other problems as well. But if this is what I can do, then I'll try to cultivate it as much as I can, happy or not, lonely or not! Long live poetry !

    I think it is our emotional natures which continue to nurture us as writers and help us grow. We need people to react to us and we need to react to them...If we didn't , We would all be clinically dead already. I do hope that things start to work out for you again. It can be very hard to fall in and out of love. Which is why I tend to shy away from anything too uncomfortable for me. I would much rather be a loner. Especially from all the bad experiences I have had around this poetry place and in the real world. There are a lot of things that should make me stay off here forever. But its readers like you and poets like you that keep me coming back no matter what.

    It's been great talking with you.

    Much love ,
    James

    Thank you for your comment, dear, I am glad to see my feelings touch others and that others understand. I was going through a hard breakup at the time, the same person broke up with me again recently and now things are hard again although now I don't have feelings of guilt. Your advice makes me feel better, and I sure agree with you, some things arent meant to be but perhaps in time I will find someone who aprecciates me more or this same person will come to realize his faults as well. I might post more soon, though I'm not sure I want to keep on sharing sad words. Be well!

    This is sentimental, but doesn't cause itself to fold up and become dry. On the contrary, I think this piece does it's job well. Expressing to me that you have been going through some very difficult times over the past year and for that reason, I shall not critique this.

    I can tell when a poem is deeply personal to someone and that's what I get from this.

    I wouldn't want to throw salt in wounds that have already bleed enough for a thousand years.

    What I would like to say is, you are young and if the person you have written this about has broken your heart, don't fret. The pain will be strong and unending for a time, but you will find someone who will cherish you, probably when you least expect it. It's all about time, strength and patience.

    Some things are meant to be and others aren't.

    much love,
    James

    a very heartfelt poem. I hope he was able to forgive you...but the first step is acknowledgment of one's mistakes, so hopefully he will see that. best of luck in the new year! xox
