I am Sorry

was entered in a competition within this portal. Thank you for reading.

If you have to apologize to someone for loving you....that is such a powerful way of showing the inequalities in a relationship...one person usually loves another more...and the person who loves more has more to lose.....
You have made a beautiful poem out of this
I am sure a lot of people can identify
with this
Thank you for writing

Dear Kitty: thank you for the kind words and comments. To love and not loved is not easy, nor is being loved and not love. The other one always try to be on par.

Hi Grace, the L word is enough to drive one insane, especially when the scale is unbalanced.

My dear Kym. Yes. You are so right. You were with me in one of those hours of anger, disappointment, self doubt. Thanks so much for reading.

ahhhh.....so true that old song,  "It takes a fool to learn that love don't love nobody".

I really like this poem Grace : )

Thank you MusicallyMrM for liking this poem. I think most of us are 'fools' for love, actually. 'Once bitten twice shy' is never applied to this thing called 'love'...just 'hope springs eternal'.;)

I liked the poem.. True enough, loving n not being loved is tough but the reverse is tougher.. One almost dies in guilt..

duseja_shweta, thank you for reading and leaving your comments.

what so many of us must learn
is that Love never takes turns
it can only be given
& only marriage can make it forbidden
so there is no need to apologize
because True Love can never be disguised
& it can fight through anything
even the forbidden barriers that it brings.....

Thank you Goodest for reading. You always have such inspired comments. Thanks ever so.

yes grace , more the fool him is what I say :)

Thank you Paul for reading and commenting.

Dear Grace (May I call you that?):

I'm sorry but you can never "make" anyone feel any prticular way.  You can try to, but has love (death?) caused you to believe the impossible dream?  You have the beginning of style, your style, just make sure, please, that what you say is true to human experience.  In other words, you feel you caused X, but Y might have reared its head instead.

Interesting comments, Marcella1, thank you very much for reading. Yes, do call me Grace: I'd like that very much. I did write the poem through human experience too, in as far as I am human.:D

This touches on the very essence of what it means to be a caring individual. Very universal audience! Wonderful composition.

JAZZMANOR, thank you for reading and leaving the kind comment. I really appreciate that.

we all give our hearts over in the hopes and dream of love shared,never really thinking of the affects rejection might have. Espeaically us woman, its innate in us to love deeply strongly hopelessly given the fifty-one percent in a relationship. But what are the alternative, not love? broken heart or not we return to LOVE.
