Unforgiven

by Jenna Bella Oldridge   Nov 7, 2011


I spoke the words I did not want to say
And as a consequence pushed you away

How foolish have I been
To let my love go unseen

I should have talked, I should have shared
Should have shown you that I cared

But I was closed, I was entombed
With myself I was consumed

When I should have shown you how I feel
Validated your feelings and made them real

Now it's too late to speak out
You don't want to talk you want to shout

And rightly so I deserve no more
I ripped you apart and robbed your core

Fogiveness is out of the question
There's too much hate, there's too much tension

Just know I am sorry and I understand your fury
I was a lover who faild her duty

    Everybody can relate to this.
    Messing up in a relationship, not seeing what truly was there until its to late.

    This flows perfectly, is full of hurt & regret
    Great Job(:

    You penned a very logical poem. Half of the worlds problems are lack of communication, Lack of understanding.
    As you have written so intelligently, we should never hold back what we feel, being straight forward is the key
    Excellent write

    Hey,

    What a well writen poem

    I spoke the words I did not want to say
    And as a consequence pushed you away
    ^^^
    The first stanza says so much. Very powerfull words that in a nut shell, tell you the story without even finishing the poem (Though of course I kept reading)

    But I was closed, I was entombed
    With myself I was consumed
    ^^^
    these words got to me as I know so many people would be going through something like this as well and it is heartbreaking.

    Poems like this make me look at my own relationships. I always think to myself "Did you tell your husband that you loved him today"

    I loved this poem

    It's sad, many can relate to it. We always hurt someone and sometimes is better to sperate and leave it to time and distance to heal the wounds.
    And hopefully it will turn out for the better.
