I Beg...

A poem I wrote in high school for an assignment while studying sonnets.

If you had not left me that winter's day;

And perhaps if we had walked different paths.

What if I had not asked you to stay?

What if we hadn't exchanged such angry wrath

Instead of simply saying our goodbyes?

I ran from you, I ran from the truth. And 

Instead of spewing such horrible lies,

I should have given you another chance

To reconcile the differences between

Us. If, say, I had forgiven you then, 

And we had broken through this icy sheen

Then we could be together once again.

Though, I fear, if I were not that brave,

I would not be crying here at your grave.
