in depth look at poem: This poem was written for Beck. I wanted to apologize for not writing her for a couple of days.


Apology

Beck I get down on one knee and offer this apology
for I am really angry at myself for not writing you
Beck for committing this error I am truly sorry
and that again I will never do.
Beck I am sorry for not sending you an e-mail
I'm sorry for not letting you know how I was
Beck I'm sorry for worrying you without cause
I'm sorry that you I so much fail.
Beck I hope that you can look beyond this,
ignore this nail that is a thorn in my side.
Beck if you leave, you I would so greatly miss
and without you by me I would have died.
Beck without you I don't know if I could live
so I'm asking "Will you forgive?"
