Apology Poem by Ojeikpo Elijah

Pease hearken to my plea,
For in my heart, remorse does deeply dwell,
My words and actions caused you hurt, you see,
And now I come to you, in humble spell.

My tongue, wielded like a blade, cut deep,
And wounded you, though I did not intend,
My thoughts, in haste, did not take time to keep,
And now, I fear, our bond may soon amend.

Oh, how I wish I could retract my ire,
And turn back time, to mend what has been done,
For in your eyes, I see the hurt and fire,
And know that I'm the cause, the only one.

So here I am, my humble heart laid bare,
To ask for your forgiveness, dear,
I know that words, at times, can cause dismay,
And actions, too, can leave a lasting scar.

But know, my dear, my heart did not betray,
And I regret, the pain I caused, thus far.
For in your companion, I have found such joy,
And now, I fear, I may have lost it all.

But with this humble heart, I hope to employ,
An apology, sincere and heartfelt call.
Let not my pride, prevent me from seeing,
The hurt and pain, my words and deeds have caused.

For your forgiveness, I am now pleading,
And in your mercy, may our bond be paused.
Oh, please grant me this one wish,
To mend our Love, with an apology, true and bliss.
