Forgive Me

Please know that ... I love you. Please find me ... At our special place.

I know the route so well

I drove home

I don’t know how I got there

 

My heart cried all the way

My mind lost with your words

My body simply numb

 

I thought about the words said

No one is to blame but me

I made a mistake I can’t go back

 

I have no words left

To say I’m sorry

I’ve said them already

 

Yet, forgive me if I made it

Seem that I wasn’t giving you

Something special

 

But you have my heart

There is nothing more

I could possibly give

 

You know I heard the name

All I could do was think of you

My heart simply lost

 

As I got home

I hoped my mind

Would not think of you

 

But instead the painting

It was there all night long

To remind me of you

 

As I looked at the painting

I closed me eyes and saw you

And that enchanting smile

 

There is a knot in my throat

I try to choke back the tears

But they come anyways

 

My heart completely broken

But that doesn’t matter

Nothing matters anymore

 

The loving words you’ve said

Will remain forever

In my mind, heart and soul

 

I will never forget you

You will be in my heart

And I’ll wait impatiently

 

If you could only see

How my heart skips a beat

With every word from you

 

But there are no more words

They are but simply memories

That I will carry with me

 

My heart is pounding

As I see you here so close

Yet so far away

 

I can’t help but cry again

Realizing that I’ve lost you

Goodbye my sweet … heart

 

I hope you can

Find it in your heart

To forgive me  

 

If you cannot

Please know that

I love you

 

If you can forgive me

Please find me

At our special place

This is tragically beautiful.

Using the font makes it more real... as if you've written a letter to your departed lover. All the things you feel - they're what people suffer, hoping against hope that thr tide will turn and that person will - to use your words : 'Please find me At our special place' . Think that's the saddest part .. maybe I understand it ... come find me, come back, you can find me... find me.

I truly hope you can smile now. Thank you for sharing.

There is an obviouse personal message within your words that only your love can read into. This gives your poem a permanent shroud of mystery that only he can see through. Leaving your readers to see only the surface emotion of longing for forgiveness. That in itself is a powerful enough emotion to carry your readers through to the end and keep them rooting for your cause. Against popular belief..... the heart can heal and two souls can reach beyond the pain to recapture what is most important to any life ...Love. Powerful display of longing.

So close...and yet so far away---that is the hardest part of this kind of heartbreak. It would almost be better to be far, far away than to see someone over and over again because of where you both live. You have caught the heartbreak here with your words.

I've been in this place of heartbreak many, many times, and I feel for you. This is an amazing write, very powerful and raw with emotion. Great writing!

Your heart - the most precious part of you is gone. Living without the heart is like not-living at all.
I wish you can find your heart at that special place.

Another painful write. So much relatable. Incidentally, I wrote something today which is much shorter than this one but quite similar.
