This one is a bit embarassing. The challenge was to write an apology poem. Funny thing is, This challenge came down the day after something I really, REALLY needed to apologize for. I only hope I found a few words that do justice to my shame...
You looked at me in shocked astonishment
hitting my heart like super-charged defibrillation
What day is it?
What's the date?
Worst screw up ever
Becoming a cliché
Like a bad sitcom
No way to recover
I love you so much
There was so much going on
Days blending together
No excuse
Can't blame you
I can't believe
I forgot
birthday
sorry?
I can't say I'm sorry
and think that's the end
I'm supposed to
adore you
cherish you
worship you
You are the center of my universe
somehow my orbit got askew
Life happens doesn't cut it
I want to be worthy of you
I want to cherish you
I do worship you
You inspire me
Yet I let you down
Again
I'm not worthy to love you
yet I do
I'm not worthy of your love
yet you still say you love me
I adore you
I will cherish you
I will worship you
It's what you deserve
It's what I will do
Don't worry
Ball's in my court
I won't let you down
I promise
I'm sorry...
