Comments: I wrote this poem for Teresa before I found out the truth to why she was unhappy. I blamed myself, but I think it's a good poem, especially since it's one of those heartfelt things. It doesn't matter now, the emotion involved, simply because she didn't care to begin with, so the emotions, even mine, were moot. I couldn't read this to even my closest friend without crying.. Oh, and her comments? "Good..but you can't rhyme woth a shit."
I wronged you, through and through
I failed to listen to your words
I failed to honor you
I failed to hold you when you’re sad
I failed to kiss your wounds
I failed to make you happy
I failed to hold you true
I
failed to trust you wholly
I failed to make you see
I failed to keep you happy
My angel, it was me
And now I feel so empty
Like a songbird with no song
Now I feel so anguished
Because I did you wrong
The
tears are falling from my face
Landing in your hair
Even the thought of losing you
Is more than I can bear
I’m trying to understand the things
I’ve seen within your eyes
I’m trying to understand the looks
The secrets you disguise
I’ve
opened myself up to you
I’ve let you see inside
I’ve given all myself to you
All that I’ve denied
I’m miserable without your touch
I’m anxious for you caress
I’ve wanted only you, my love
To hold me to your breast.
All
I want in this world
Is for you to smile again
And tell me that you love me
And to start all over again
But maybe it’s too late, you say
You can’t forget the past
I’m asking you to start anew
And make our true love last
