Array ( [sid] => 182087 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => I sincerely apologize.. [time] => 2015-11-08 22:58:10 [hometext] => Some times we push those closest to us away, because we get scared or confused and don't know how to react or what to say. [bodytext] => I sincerely apologize.

I saw you as a girl
a daughter I never had.
And missed the beautiful woman
wanting and waiting to be held.

I could and would never hurt you
I wanted to shield and protect you
I thought it was the best thing I could do
I was only trying to look after you.

I pushed you away, to keep you at bay
I deeply regret that today..
I did not listen to my heart
and what my heart had to say.

I tried to use my head instead.
Using logic, using common sense.
I tried to reason from past experience
not asking or considering your stance.

I was falling fast,
feeling so confused.
The closer I got to the fire
The faster I would burn.

I had no where to turn.

But I realized I over reacted.
I was genuinely concerned
I called to ask “Are you O.K”?
However, it was done and
it was too late to be retracted.

I'd grovel at your feet
and I accept defeat
I am so, so, sorry
please say “You're forgiven”
the next time that we meet. [comments] => 6 [counter] => 241 [topic] => 50 [informant] => thomasu01 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => ApologyPoetry )

I sincerely apologize.

I saw you as a girl
a daughter I never had.
And missed the beautiful woman
wanting and waiting to be held.

I could and would never hurt you

I was only trying to look after you.

I pushed you away, to keep you at bay
I deeply regret that today..
I did not listen to my heart

I tried to use my head instead.
Using logic, using common sense.
I tried to reason from past experience

I am so, so, sorry

This has a wonderful feel to it, a story to tell, and a lesson to be learned. You have covered all the bases here.
Funny how we see people as we want them to be, and not always as they are.
This poem says that the more we long for something, the less we see reality. It is a lovely warning to taste before you swallow.

I feel that there's something that's not quite explained. Just the manner of how the person that was pushed away was treated, because they may have been most unkindly treated. Lashed with anger to ensure their departure. I think a lot of us can unfortunately relate to that.

I also like what you did with the structure toward the end. You carried a four-line stanza, then with a separate introduction of a fifth line, changed to a five-line stanza. Interesting choice. Threw me for a loop, but I like the idea. :)
