Remorse Poem by Adriaan Noel

Remorse

Sorry for so many things
Sorry for failing
Sorry

Sorry for what
Not honoring a maiden
Destroying a father’s dream

Depression and fear
Not being there
Being poor

Finding a new career
Loosing a job
Moving

Failing to recover
Being a patient
Not a man

Throwing it away
Trying too hard
Failing

Starting over too soon
Building a room
Walls

Digging for something new
Not having patience
Dreaming

Going round and round
Making promises
Crazy

Bleeding like a pig
Hurting inside
Soft

Asking the question
Waiting too long
Angry

Trusting someone close
Expecting too much
Hope

Sorry again
Failing
Sorry again
