I'M Sorry Poem by James Casey

I'm Sorry

Every now and then, you find someone who is perfect
You find her very, very special and true
Then everything's like magic
But, then problems always brew

I had everything I could have wanted
And yet she must have wanted something more
And though I lived in happiness
The fates had other plans in store

It was is the month of December
When brought with winters chill
The hand of doom, that cursed our fate
And set out, our love to kill

But I survived and hung on tight
Even though I knew deep down
No matter how hard I tried
Our love was doomed to drown

So here I am, February 18th
Our love now gone awry
I think of all the times we had
Then hold my head and cry

I will smile at the memories
And even though it's too late
I will never forget those promises
Or the strength you helped create

As I go on, I'll try to hold my head up
As I try to name a song
Know that I will always love you
And I'm sorry things went so wrong
