my mistake

08/2011

I'm sorry, I thought I knew you

and I didn't mean to stare but

was that a smile of recognition

right before the hateful glare

No..your right, your not her

the girl I knew was full of hope

your possessed and full of anger

barely able to cope

Promise me that if you see her

you'll tell her that I'm sorry and I really care 

and that I miss her looking back at me

from the mirror we used to share

I like this poem. Made your point with gentle and kind words. Hard to watch people change directions. I like the ending. Always good to leave with kindness and a open door for the good people in a life. A excellent poem.

This was well written and sad at the same time. Its like losing touch with your best friend, none the less it was an amazing poem.
