I'm not hinting. <br />I don't know how! <br />I'm not suggesting. <br />I wish I could somehow! <br />I'm not demanding. <br />That would be too rude. <br />I don't want to insult... <br />Others may, <br />But to me that's crude! <br />I don't want to say nothing... <br />That would imply I don't care! <br />I will go ahead... <br />And do this anyway! <br />You will know I am aware! <br />I-am-gonna-beg! <br />How about that? <br />Will you forgive me? <br />For being self absorbed... <br />And being so unfair? <br />By turning you off and showing my back! <br />I now have much empathy, <br />For you that wasn't there! <br />I hope you recognize I'm changing from inside. <br />With a sensitivity that came I once lacked... <br />That I wasn't trying to hide! <br /> <br />Please don't do that! Not right now! <br />You make me nervous when you cry!<br /><br />Lawrence S. Pertillar<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/will-you-forgive-me-2/
