Crying Purple Rain
Never meant to cause you any problems
Never meant cause you any pain
Never meant to bring tears to your eyes
Causing you to cry purple rain
Never meant to leave stains on your pillows
From all of the lonely nights you've cried
Never meant to cause you any heartache
And I'm sorry for the times I lied
I relied on my charismatic charm to get you
Never thought that we'd eventually elope
I've got commitment issues from prior loves
Sorry to have misled you; killing your hope
I hope that time will quickly heal you
Never did I intend to do you wrong
You deserved better than what I gave you
Causing you to sing a melancholy song
Never meant cause you any pain
Never meant to bring tears to your eyes
Causing you to cry purple rain
Never meant to leave stains on your pillows
From all of the lonely nights you've cried
Never meant to cause you any heartache
And I'm sorry for the times I lied
I relied on my charismatic charm to get you
Never thought that we'd eventually elope
I've got commitment issues from prior loves
Sorry to have misled you; killing your hope
I hope that time will quickly heal you
Never did I intend to do you wrong
You deserved better than what I gave you
Causing you to sing a melancholy song

I'm a HUGE Prince fan and thoroughly enjoyed this tribute to Purple Rain very much... it was a terrifically creative way to incorporate this iconic song.... and it captured me completely...

Apology
I've always had a hard time making them
Partly cuz I fear they may not be accepted
Nice poem tho, Sir Damon

Ah yes, I've been here. This evokes the dual feelings of joy and loss that seem interwoven into love itself. At first the joy of attachment and then the crushing pain of detachment. Reminds me of of S&G's classic line "If I never would have loved/I never would have cried."

I don't think it's ever our intention to hurt others, but whether is stemming from past issues or unresolved matters, we fall on old behaviors that are self-sabotaging. These reflective writes are like apology letters (God knows I've written many myself).
Excellent flow and sentiment Damon.
