#33 of Poetry

This was a poem I wrote about a month ago after having issues with someone very dear to me. It was my fault, and I wrote it the day after as a lamentation and perhaps even a penance of sorts. We've since sorted things out.

If I could turn back time,  
I'd erase the words I said,  
If I could just rewind,  
And take the dark thoughts from your head,  
  
I want to turn back time,  
And right the wrongs I've made,  
But life is a straight line,  
And this is the path I've laid,  
  
Please don't think you failed,  
Because nothing was your fault,  
And I was never leaving you,  
Because yours in the name I exalt,  
  
But I made a mistake,  
For I'm just a humble man,  
I didn't mean to cause you heartache,  
That was never part of the plan,  
  
I should've known this would happen,  
And now I pray night and day,  
That I can salvage the wreckage,  
That loss isn't the price I pay,  
  
And if I could earn your trust,  
I would never lose it again,  
And if you would please come back,  
I would eternally be your friend,  
  
But there is so much more,  
That I want from this life,  
It's everything we had before,  
A partner to weather the strife,  
  
I know you don't believe,  
That I'm sincere in my heart,  
But I will say this to you now,  
I never wanted us to part,  
  
The darkness that you feel,  
Most of it's inside your head,  
Because the thought of hurting you,  
Well, I'd rather I was dead,  
  

  Though you may not trust me now,  
And I wouldn't blame you there,  
I hope you trust these words,  
You are always in my prayers,  
  
And if you can forgive,  
I'll do whatever I can do,  
To prove that I'm sincere,  
Because I never meant to hurt you,  
  
So with a heavy heart,  
I sing my lonely song,  
And I'm wishing day and night,  
To have everything that's gone.
