Penance.
I must apologize to you
for thinking of you as the man of my dreams
when you did not choose to be-
for making you the love of my life,
for wanting to be your wife.
∼
I am so very sorry
for all of my attempts
and all my wasted efforts
in building you into something you were not;
You hit the ground with such a thump
from atop that pedestal you fell from.
∼
I hope you can forgive me
for seeing the light in your eyes
that took away all my darkness,

for making you my one,
but now its all undone.
∼
I stand before you bare
as I humbly seek your pardon,
for as I burdened you with my love
I neglected to tend my own garden.
∼
How could I be so wrong,
How could I be so stupid,
always being there for you,
forcing you to take me for granted,
and not being what you wanted.
∼
This is my mea culpa
I seek penance for my crime,
And pray you can absolve me
as I gift you back your time.
And Love Remains
She dusted you off her shoulder
something she noticed out of the corner of her eye,
a nuisance flake that looked like a blurried boulder,
brushed off without so much as a goodbye.
but love remains..
He sends you a text message
or calls you on the phone;
his promises were a hollow pledge,
he hangs up, and you’re alone.
but Love remains..
You feel your spirit start to wither
and you realize you must forgive her.
You feel your soul dying from within
and you realize you must forgive him.
And Love remains
even when he leaves,
that’s how you can love again.
Love remains
even after she leaves,
that’s why you can love again
He gave you his heart
tied with a pretty bow,
you opened it and found a box of pain.
She gave you her heart
delicately placed in folds of silk and satin,
you opened it and found a box of rain.
Yet Love remains
even when he leaves
that’s how you can love again.
Love remains
even after she leaves
that’s why you can love again
Deep within all the pain,
time passes..
and Love remains.
Over You
I can no longer bear
to look into your lying eyes;
there is such deep sadness
when love dies
I can no longer bear
to be held in your cheating arms;
the beautiful hands that once held mine
have lost all their charm
I can no longer bear
to hold a place in your misleading heart;
my heart once held you in such high graces
but you pierced it with a fickle dart
I gave you all I had
and I suffered all the pain;
You took it all for granted
It was all for your gain
All this time you deceived me,
letting you was my mistake.
And somehow I forgive you,
for my own sake
Now when I say my final goodbye
suddenly you want to apologize;
you want to be my ‘everything’
but I no longer choose to agonize..
..over you.
