After 8 months I have finally realized that my actions toward my ex girlfriend were unfair. I trapped her in the relationship and expected her to go on supporting me throughout it. I can’t agree with all her actions, but I also can’t deny the many mistakes I made as well. To everyone that has heard or seen me demonizing her, please know I have realized my mistake. After briefly apologizing to her, I wrote this. It is not as complex as most of my newer poems, and I wrote it a lot quicker too. Regardless, here it is. It’s hard to say sorry after all that I’ve said And it hurts to realize that I lost my head But given time to step back and review the past I see both our lights and the shadows they cast After an era of ambivalence reality draws near But no need to be esoteric when the meaning’s so clear I demonized you to remove the knife from my throat And attacked you through all the poems I wrote But neither of us was perfect and I can finally see I trapped you in a place you couldn’t want to be When you tried to step away I resorted to begging and tears Forcing you to hold me by playing off your fears But I fell apart when I saw I lost your love And you were unable to help me due to the above When you finally knew you had to break away I crumbled and exhausted every word I could say Sought for anything so that you wouldn’t leave Stooped lower then I could ever conceive And while I doubt you will ever read this It’s been buried in my mind since our last kiss I couldn’t confess to my many mistakes But I can finally apologize for both of our sakes
