I didn't see your hidden hurt <br />You hid it so very well. <br />I wasn't showing kindness to you <br />I was only adding fuel to your silent hell. <br /> <br />I thought I was being funny <br />In some of the things that I had said. <br />But now I see they were hurtful and unkind <br />And all of them I now have come to dread. <br /> <br />How does one say, 'I'm sorry? ' <br />After the knife was thrust so deeply in? <br />I guess there is no other way to do it <br />Other than for me to just begin. <br /> <br />May you find it in your heart <br />To forgive the sins that I've committed. <br />And to take the life I have yet to live <br />Working that I might one day be forgiven.<br /><br />Linda Winchell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/forgive-me-67/
