Array ( [sid] => 49854 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Regret [time] => 2004-05-31 16:48:57 [hometext] => This is the newest poem I've written. It's not a situation I'm in at the moment but I guess at some point in all our lives we've hurt someone and this is just an apology for that...Comments appreciated* [bodytext] => Inside an envelope of regret
I've sealed myself
I know you lie in wait
My arrival misses all deadlines
Until I'm sure
Forgiveness will be filed
Under N for never

Oh how I wish time were more a friend of mine
And I could change her mind
To reverse into a past of us
And make this right
But I'm too little, I'm too late
It's fair to say
And there are no words
That can empty your heart of hurt
That can make you forget
And erase the trace of me
That stings like salt

I know the pain I've caused
Has clung to your bones
And aged you
Beyond your control
The signs they are there
Creeping across your face
Each line telling of and repeating the toll
Of the story of us
It is what it is
And Lord knows
I'd change the ending for your happily ever after
If I could

But I'm powerless to deliver anything
Other than myself
Inside an envelope of regret
I'm sealed
I know you lie in wait
One day
I will send my sorry to you
And hope that you receive it. [comments] => 5 [counter] => 372 [topic] => 50 [informant] => reilt [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => ApologyPoetry )

I love these lines. The whole thing is good, but these are the very best lines. Yes, we can all relate. I like the way you've handled this.

Very nice write. I'm in a similar situation and your words are how I feel too, nearly exactly. I wish I would have written this one. If time allows, read my poems from Joker17, they may describe how you feel as well. Just remember, there is always hope, I'm living proof. Love is not enough alone, but it will give you the courage to do what you need to, to make the best of what you have left, if you have enough drive and desire. Very well written, really enjoyed it. Take care, and best of luck to you. Keep the faith. J Samuelson (Joker17)
