Am Sorry Poem by Ojeikpo Elijah

My dearest, how my heart does ache
To see the pain within your tear-filled eyes
For every word I said, a grave mistake
Forgive me, love, for I apologize.

Am sorry for the hurt I caused you,
The thoughtless actions that I did commit
I never meant to fill your heart with fear
Or make you question if we should still fit.

My love for you is true and ever-strong
But I let my pride and anger take hold
I was blinded, my judgment was wrong
But now, with clear eyes, the truth I behold.

Please know my heart is heavy with regret
Am sorry, love, please do not forget
Forgive me for the nights you spent in tears
For the broken promises and the pain.

I know I caused you so much grief and fears
And drove a wedge between us, oh how vain
But through my mistakes, I've learned to see
How much you mean to me, my sweetest one.

And though my imperfections may still be
I'll fight to show you, until life is done
For you, my dear, I'll cross any sea
And scale the highest mountain, without fear.

My love for you, oh how it runs so deep
Am sorry, my love, please let me make it clear
I'll spend my days making it up to you
For my love, my heart, will always be true.
