Remorse

For some people sorry is just not enough.
Even when followed by 'I love you', candy and flowers.
For some people love is not enough.
Sometimes forgiveness is not within their powers.

I know that I'm sorry is not enough
But that is all I have left to give.
I beg until all tears have dried up,
Because I need you to forgive.

We will all make mistakes, you see
None of us are perfect.
All I am asking from you, you see
Is that you find that I am worth it.

I feel the ache in my bones
For each time I mistreated you
Through my heart and soul I loved
Yet this point is not in first view.

I wrong once, twice
Maybe even three times.
But it is not the quantity, you see
It is the quality of this crime.

I never quite imagined
I could hurt an individual this deep.
Because throughout my lifetime
That hurt individual was always me.

Maybe the world will never understand
The amount of hurt I went through.
I know I could never understand
Just how much I would miss you.
