I'm Sorry

it is truly pain that marks the measure of our growth

 

I'm sorry i can't play today

My heart is broke in two

I can't come out and play 'your love'

Cause I'm only playing a fool

I'm sorry I ever made you cry

Though you weren't playing fair

I gave my heart years ago

…to play but you weren’t there

I’m sorry I let you walk on me

Just to feel you in my life

 

 

 

 

    Not sorry that I married you

Just sorry you won’t be my wife

I’m sorry I let you break the rules

That gave my heart away

I wish that you weren’t so alone

That only your shell can play

I’m sorry I let you shape my heart

By treating me like you do

Becoming so hard to keep our love

Now it only breaks in two

I’m sorry I let you make the rules

Because they take me away from you

I’m sorry I can’t play with you

Because I have to follow your rules

I’m sorry my love for I’ll miss you

As I reach back to my soul

I guess your just not part of me

I guess I won’t be whole

I’m not sorry I let you take my heart

Though you didn’t want it anyway

I’m sorry you won’t give it back

You’d rather throw it away

 

     Not sorry of how much I love you

For love is my gift to give

I’m sorry you make my love a waste

When love you will not give

I’m sorry you only think of you

For no one else you really care

I’m sorry, I begin to see

What lies within I fear

I’m sorry I let you make the rules

For they toss my love aside

I’m sad I am worth nothing to you

For it says I’m nothing inside

I’m sorry I can’t be your toy

For we could have so much fun

I know that you won’t be there too

You’ve left me to only one

 

It hurts that you won’t love me

This is your right to be

I‘m sorry that I can’t love you

for it brings nothing but hurt to me

Because you always finish and put me down

And hang me out to dry

what you never even would realize 

It was you that made me cry

 

     Not sorry I let you hold my heart

Just sorry that you don’t care

I’m sorry that when we went to play

You never learned to share

Sorry you would only take from me

What I only wanted to give

You just won’t let me be

And take all I have to live

Sorry love means nothing to you

except for what there is to take

I’m sorry I mean so little to you

I’m just your big mistake

I’m sorry that you don’t want to give

And sorry that you’re not true

I pray one day you learn to share

For look what happened to me and you

I’m sorry love eludes you

It is you that casts it all away

Now my heart black and blue

From the beating it had to pay

I’m sorry you won’t feel my heart

My love you just won’t share

I’m sorry you don’t feel your heart

For that’s the only way love can get in there

I wish that you’d of shared my love

Instead of taking it from me

I hope, I pray one day you’d learn to feel

So that one day, love, you’ll come to see

I’m sorry that this can’t be now

How empty this seems to be

For the world comes from this same love

That’s always been given free

I hope you’ll remember the taste of my sweet heart

So full of love inside

I wish you didn’t spit it out

Just to make it hide

What happened to the words you spoke

Or did you even care

I’m sorry that I can’t play

For you haven’t learned play fair

 

     Not sorry that you still reach to me

And try you call on me as friend

Just sorry that you still don’t see

Friendship is not what you extend

I wish you were to only see

What it is that drives my heart

For then you’d know whats driving me

And you might become a part

There is nothing more that I can do

Not that I wouldn’t try

But to be a friend you’d have to share in love

Yet I see you still know not why

Still I hope one day you’ll grow

I see for now it’s not with me

No longer can I be sorry

For your path is yours you see

ignore the blatant confusion and enjoy the spirit of the pain that stimulates the creative spirits of writing poetry. lol

Very revealing. You're very brave to post something like this. Many would be scared to post such inner feelings, but you weren't. Many wouldn't post something like this because they are constantly lying to themselves. Who ever said poetry was unhealthy? it's good you got this off your chest.

I won't rate this one because i feel something this personal should not be graded. It came from your heart, obviously, so why rate something so sincere?
