I'm Sorry

I'm sorry for letting you down... Like you did me

I'm sorry..

I'm sorry if I pointed out your short comings ... like you did mine

I'm sorry if I made you feel worthless ... like you did me

I'm sorry if I belittled you ... like you did me

I'm sorry if I told you your problems are nothing ... like you did me.

I'm sorry if I got angry at you ... like you did me

I'm sorry if I didn't talk to you ...... like you didn't to me.

I'm sorry if I shut you out... like you did me

I'm sorry if I wasn't excited when I saw you ... like you weren't me

I'm sorry if I didn't tell you how I felt about us ... like you didn't me

I'm sorry if I made you feel less than ... like you did me

I'm sorry...

Thank you..

Thank you for setting us free to see the world through our own eyes and allow us to find our own happiness, whatever & wherever that may be.

Nobody wins in a relationship with an eye for an eye. This poem emphasizes the true fault in retaliating back to a love one. Eventually, both lose the fight. Love the wonderful display of emotion. N.

I agree. I did write this because of someone that is always finger pointing yet fail to see both sides. Thanks :)

I revisited this one because it is real. It shows light on how trying to win an argument is overrated and can cause a lot of harm. By far my favorite you wrote, this why I came back for a rerun. N.

Aah, this is the perfect truth set in pure emotion...uncluttered by traditional poetry studies or care of response (the best kind...and the 'repetition' makes it potent). Love this "in your face!" piece.
Thanks for sharing.

[EileenMarie]

Thank you. Its to all the finger pointers out there!! :)

The narcissists, as I know them to be. I never understood the energy wasted finger-pointing when the problem-solving efforts alone can be draining.
You're welcome

i like the tone...and the transition from thank you to sorry...the sarcasm works...but i also like the reverse psychology...and the saturating sweetness with which the words are delivered...

Thank you for your review. As always I appreciate you reading my work!

[Davidgeo]

This can be excellent if you get rid of that "i'm sorry" repetition bullshit.... I know it helps to do that when you're writing it but it reads like... well, the other 10 billion times it's been done. Dogshit.... reads like the poop of a dog to me. Worse than Keanu Reeves pretending to be British.

You should be sorry for saying I'm sorry too much.

I like everything else a whole lot though. So, yay! good job... sorta.

[EileenMarie]

I like that poetry is subjective. That being said not everyone will like it.

[Davidgeo]

truth......

[Richard]

this is really good :) a cool call and answer thing about it

[EileenMarie]

A little reverse psychology .. I was hurt & tend to write my best then! Thanks for reading :)

[Lydia Shutter]

When we treat others as they have treated us, they are often shocked...and hurt. Best to move on and find your happiness without this person. Lydi**

[EileenMarie]

I was being sarcastic.. Maybe it wasn't conveyed.. The goal in my mind was to have the other person hear how they hurt me. I will have to work on that! Thanks for the review :)

[Philip Muls]

I like the way sorry evolves into thank you. Liberation after a million sorries. Own eyes, own happiness.

Great write.

[EileenMarie]

Trying to find the gratitude isn't always easy or desired. It is a goal of mine however .
Thanks for reviewing ! Glad you liked it

[Curtis.Lenker]

[EileenMarie]

I write well when in an uncomfortable emotional state.. Odd but so glad it helps free my mind!
Thank you
