Poem of the Week (5 of 52): Apology

This one is themed as an apology poem. To who? No one in particular. It seemed like a cool topic to write about. Its a great form of an apology. I guess it could be aimed at a few different people that I thought of for inspiration but mostly just my views.

Apology

Let me take the time to say
I apologize, for all the lies,
The torments, and the treasons.
I never meant to break those promises,
But thats how it is.
There is nothing more I can do,
I apologize and show respect to you,
But I don't expect the same respect in return.
I hope that you just can see I have learned,
A lesson.
Much like learning the piano you make mistakes,
But that can change from day to day.
Some repeat themselves and all you do is try to correct them,
No need for an apology to the piano, but to you,
I mean this from the heart and its true.
I repeat some mistakes,
and in our breaks,
I sit and wait,
To reconcile with you,
To fix up my flaws and swear I will never hurt you.
I intend to pretend I never did in the first place,
But this is only so I don't have to face,
Myself.
In the mirror, I stand looking at a face,
I just can't place, where I've seen it before.
How did I turn into this monster
Hiding in the shadows of your closet door,
Or under the bed reaching for your foot on the floor,
In an attempt to pull you down and under with me?
But now I've stopped hiding and have come into the light.
I only want to stand here with no intensions to fight,
But to try to express my guilt and make up with you.
I'm sorry for all the torture I've put you through.
For that I apologize.

PS- Soon I'll be writing a review on the newest season opener of Doctor Who and maybe a few other reviews and regular blogs and do more than just these poems.
