I've asked them
to take down
all of these poems
that are around
that I have written
because of you
all that were written
so out of tune
and I'm sorry
that I put you
through it
I'm sorry
that I was so unkind
I had to do it
I know that the love
you have in your heart
Has my name written
not only in part
but on it, and in it , and through it
so much
that you became blue from it
You've gone through
so much
so much that i have
I'm sorry
that I didn't show you
the same compassion
you have
I'm sorry
that I wanted to quit
I'm sorry
that I put you
through all of this ----
please forgive me now
I am here today
Please forgive me
for I'm ready to say
that you were right
In so many ways.
Please give me a chance
To show you
I've changed
