{Her apology to him after being caught in the arms of her lover}
{prelude to a love story--short story}

forgive me
this wrong i've delivered against us
that's causing you pain
and to question my trust

forgive me
this grief i've bestowed upon you
the tears you've shed and the loss of sleep, too

forgive me
this moment forever etched upon your mind
a picture of me with another...forever strewn across time

forgive me
this lapse in judgment that chased you away
and caused you to forget all reason to stay
that one lone straw...i've planted in your eye
you never started an argument...didn't even ask why

forgive me
this disruption...to family and love
the bad you didn't call me...and all you thought of

forgive me

as the days pass by with the nights growing long
i relive the tragedy of love gone wrong
i imagine the look of betrayal on your face
as i lie with another between sheets trimmed in lace
the pain of that reality
seeps slowly into your soul
face contorted with anger
mind, boggled...out of control
if you find it within you
to forgive me this one
never, again
will i lie down in another man's arms

forgive me

so long i did wait
for small dreams to come true
yet, i casually tossed away
all hopes of being with you
you gave me my world
and what did i do
i castrated your heart
i'm not worthy of you

as the sun did set
where the sky met the sea
i lossed all hope of "US"
...even threw away "WE"
one tear, i did shed
after reality set in
to regain your trust
i must locate my man

when i find you, i hope
you've had sufficient time
to process the pain
to divvy up the fine
my callousness...1 point
my actions...3 times
an affair--not of the heart
i cannot defind
i would assess many points
to the pain i've caused you
then set an enornous price
to ensure love is true

FORGIVE ME.

please.

i love you.
