Sorry My Darling Poem by John Sensele

Sorry my darling, I treated you with disdain
Listening to busybodies who fed me with lies
For several years to maintain and retain
A stranglehold on my spies and cries.

Sorry my darling, I denied you the space and time
You so much deserve in our marriage
Where I forgot to allow you to climb
To your destiny's pinnacle because of my rabid rage.

Sorry my darling, I didn't dare to care enough
For your concerns and needs
Because blindness and clumsiness made me rough
I promise to jettison my wild weeds and their feeds.

Sorry my darling, I didn't acknowledge your feelings
Despite your cries for me to change
My beastly behavior and jettison jealousy dealings
That all the while posed to our home a big challenge.
