Forgive me

by Jim McMillen the man within   Sep 3, 2008

Forgive me for seeing only the best in you,
for I look through a poets eye.
Forgive for struggling to break through,
Before another tear I cry.

Forgive me for writing one verse at a time,
but i'm trying to find the words to say.
before i'm convicted of my crime,
of having my scrabble pieces in such disarray.

9-7-08
Forgive me for being weaker than my lonliness,
But it's aproaching the 20TH year of its youth.
Just know my life was once a much greater mess,
as slowly I exit, seeking only the truth.

9-8-08
Forgive me for needing a helping hand,
To overcome is a task for two.
I only wish you could understand,
It takes more than me....It takes you !

9-14-08
Forgive me for having a hungry heart,
for offering my sincerity.
I think it is time for me to depart,
so you won't have to try to tolerate me.

Jim

    Wow this poem is a heart felt poem indeed... I like the idea of you jotting down the date of when you penned down the stanza. I think it's pretty unique.I also like the idea that you take your time to craft this poem as a perfect departure.The repeated used of 'forgive me ' kindda worked for me as it enhances of how sorry u are. The flow of the poem was fantastic. It was a really a delightful to read

    Excellent Job
    5/5

    These two verses are the most profound for me. These words have been spoken many times by me and never heard by the intended recipient and it breaks my heart not to be heard. Thank you for expressing them in such a descriptive way.

    This isn't the Jim I know. You have far more in you then this attitude, if someone is upset with you for what ever reason, then she just doesn't' know you as we do.
