One heart torn apart

i write this poem with trembling hands

a sunken heart

and immense regret

i am not sure why i promise you heaven

and give you hell

i do not know why i have to scream

when you are already listening

committing hanes crimes against you

while you treat me like a king

telling myself i am right

and knowing i am wrong

i can only ask your forgiveness

and try to repair your heart

please darling can you help me

i have needed you from the start

i know that when you read this

you will recognise every word

for you have seen this countless times before

these tears are just the edge of the blade

the dagger pierces deep within

please know that i am truly sorry

see that there is no hatred in my words

no excuses and no more pain

my darling you are the single most important thing to me

i love you more each day

and even if you choose not to fogrive me

i will continue to love you

and cherish you

with every last breathe i take

just please, know that i am not that kid

you met so long ago

I love you
