APOLOGY
Dear lover, do not leave
I know that you I did deceive
Cannot explain why
Will not tell you a lie
Temptation walked in on me
When I went to that conference
You must have had your suspicions
As you sent a spy to see
When you married me
You knew what you were getting
Carmen is a girl
Who to no man can be true
Let us not forget
The incident with Claudette
You are no angel
You married me knowing I would roam
There, I have offered you my arguments
I do not want you to leave
For though I love to play
I will be there for you
Until your dying day
Now this may sound corny
But both men and women are horny
Judge me not and do not go
For the truth is I love you so.

“Not Just a Phase”
http://bethanystable.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/20/david-owes-janet-an-apolgy/begging-forgiveness.jpg
A decade ago,
I was
somewhere
being free
and
fell
hard,
just
a drunken
one-night
stand.
And sadly,
you weren’t there
to catch me,
but,
I truly wish you were.
Oh,
I can’t change it
sweet darling,
I’ve been tortured
inside and out
ever since
seeking a reprieve
from
the
agony
I brought us.
Forgive me
please
baby,
I want you back,
this is
not just a phase.

Awaken
Why do I only see
you in my head?
All of my feelings
are dead.
I see your beauty
and your defaults.
Why do you
wake the dead
feelings in my
head?
You wake the
feelings I never
wanted to feel again.
You have awaking
me from the inside.
I ask my heart to be
my guide in this
scary present.
I ask my self
why and how
you have awaken
my heart. I'm aware
of these feelings for you
in my soul.
I think to myself,
how could you have
awaken
what I have buried so deep
inside.
My heart is bursting
with love, pain, wonder,
confusion, and uncertainty.
I feel all this because.....
You have awaken me.

Enemy in the Mirror
The thing about love is it's beautifully flawed
You can't turn it off, it will not be ignored
Sometimes it's a confusing and bloody mess
Constantly evolving, putting you to the test
I'm not an ugly person, I have done some ugly things
Try to see me standing before you and not my sins
Self loathing and desperation, my new reality
Both paying the price for my lesson in morality
Hindsight is torture, important and necessary pain
I swear to you all I won't be back here again
Hard to spot a mistake until it is done
The battle for perfection will never be won
Look deep in to my eyes you will see I have changed
She who stood here yesterday was broken and deranged
I know I am undeserving of your trust on this day
Please know I would rip out my heart before I would stray
I see my worst enemy when I look in the mirror
Through the smoke from my fire I see the world clearer

convince this crowd of what?!
that i am not as much the asshole
that i once was?
that i am no longer the creep
to sneak a peek of another to whom i find beautiful..
..yet doesn't belong to me?
..yes i have been an underhanded cheat..
been less than romantic.. and cheap..
thick as a rock..
..and though i’ve been caught
i thought at the time my moves were tighter than the other woman's jeans..
..hear me well! with all this being the case..
..these mistakes of my past have lead me to stand before you all
with this unseemly egg on my face..
…….i stand before you all placing this truth on my very two eyes…...
‘i love this woman who has stood with me
through every tribulation and trial..
..be it she walk out of my life
my soul would be crushed
and the better half of me will most assuredly shrivel up and die’
we have grown together
she being the mature one
and i being the one slowly playing catch-up…
it makes sense to me now
love is not just any pretty face i can convince to give a kiss..
true love is she that holds me close at night
and though i fall short of being perfect
we complete one another..
..im so blessed she has chosen to stay with one as ragged as me..
