I'M Sorry. Poem by Emily Reid

Not wanting to sleep
For on waking the nightmare will creep
For I know I will wake up alone
In the world again, on my own

Sad and unhappy
Feeling how my world is lacking
Knowing I can't get you back
I've given up on that

But your memory and the pain remains
Leaving me empty and ashamed
I've tried everything to kill the pain
Only to leave me feeling the same

It tears at your mind, your soul, and body
Rendering you a worthless nobody

It's hard to accept
But I have no regrets
I've said what I should
I've done all that I feel I could

But you are not swayed
To turn your love my way
I'll continue on
Singing my very sad song

And always remember
What I hoped we could have had again together****
