Sorry For Myself

a poem about being apart from someone you love

 

Sorry for Myself!

I sit alone feeling sorry for myself

I want you here with me

I know that won’t happen

So sorry for myself I’ll be

 

I wonder what you’re doing

Are you having fun today?

Are you missing me just a bit?

Sorry for myself is just my coping way

 

I know I can’t be with you

Especially on this day

But think of me just once or twice

And know the words I want to say

 

They are the same words I want to hear

In your gentle loving tone

Spoken sweetly from your lips

So sorry for myself I sit here all alone

 

Just today is very difficult

I know we must be apart

Tomorrow will be better but

Today I will sit and nurse my aching heart

Pretty poem, full of love and emotion. I think we have all been there at some point, especially the frustrating feeling associated with wondering what the other person is really feeling and thinking. I get warm feelings of loving and longing from this write. Gentle and sweet. I liked the flow of it as well.

Nice work!

Welcome Sophie,

A powerful and emotional poem. Your writing continues to improve beyond my imagination.

Hope you are soon reunited with your loved one and you can say the words you need to say.

Always

It's funny that I feel exactly this same way today. Sorry for myself, for my regrets, for my misgivings. Awesome writing and thank you for sharing!

Hi Sophie! I'm so glad to see you here! Love the poem. I've never read it. Is it new? Its wonderful. I love the attitude. It says, "I'm sad, I'm lonely and if you don't like it..." It well written and has a really good flow to it. Your poetry gets better and better all the time.

Well written! I love how shameless the tone is as the author accepts that he/she is feeling sorry for him/herself. Your rhyme and tone is excellent. Thank you for sharing your good work. :)
