I'm sorry <br />for all the pain I've caused you <br />and all the words <br />that slipped idly by my lips. <br /> <br />I'm sorry <br />for the nights you've spent all alone <br />with your tears. <br /> <br />And me- wanting nothing more <br />but to wipe them <br />from your beautiful face, <br />I knew they were only there <br />because of me. <br /> <br />It kills me you see us like this. <br />To see you like this, and me. <br /> <br />I stand here <br />helpless to do anything <br />but beg for your forgiveness <br />and ask for another chance- <br />yet again. <br /> <br />And so I give you a rose, these words <br />a symbol of my remorse <br />and of my hope <br />for an everlasting rekindlement.<br /><br />Nick Jankowski<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/asking-for-forgiveness-the-only-way-i-know-how/
