I didn’t set out to impress
Though maybe I did charm
I didn’t mean to cause distress
I really meant no harm
I only wanted up to raise
Your spirits in a lull
But now I see you’re in a daze
This China-shopping bull
Gently stepping around the toes
Others may have bruised
No excuses, no new woes
Never feeling used
Clumsy me. I’ve failed it seems
I added to your trouble
No sparkle in your eye now beams
My plan is in the rubble
I’ll not have you choose between
Another path and I
I’ll not see the tears well up
When it has passed you by
You can laugh and play and sing
All the days we’re here
And I will smile and wind the string
To ever bring you near

A great poem, the grass really is not greener on the other side. A great write.
