In the depths of remorse, my heart does weep,
For the wounds I inflicted, so painfully deep.
A tale of love misled, of promises untrue,
I stand here, broken, with guilt to subdue.
I never meant to lead you astray,
Yet my actions spoke in a different way.
Blinded by confusion, I failed to see,
The havoc I wreaked upon you and me.
Like a careless breeze, I stirred your desire,
Igniting a flame that burned brighter and higher.
But in my heart's shadow, doubts did reside,
And unwittingly, I let your hopes collide.
Your eyes reflected a love so true,
But my heart, adrift, was torn in two.
In moments of weakness, I sought your embrace,
Yet deep down, I knew it was a cruel charade.
Oh, the pain of realizing too late,
That my intentions were a twisted twist of fate.
For in my hesitations, I led you on,
Leaving you stranded, love's innocence gone.
I apologize for the tears you shed,
For the sleepless nights filled with unsaid.
In the labyrinth of my own self-doubt,
I failed to see the pain I would flout.
If I could rewind the hands of time,
I would unravel the knots of this love's crime.
I would shield you from the anguish and strife,
And offer you the honesty you deserved in life.
But all I can offer are these words so sincere,
A confession of remorse, a promise to adhere.
To learn from this pain, to grow and to mend,
And never again lead a heart on, my friend.
So please forgive this flawed soul of mine,
For the unintentional hurt, the love's design.
I carry the weight of regret, heavy and deep,
And in sorrow's embrace, my promises I keep.
May time heal your wounds, mend your broken heart,
And bring a new love, a fresh, hopeful start.
For I'll forever carry the lessons I've learned,
In the depths of remorse, my love for you, adjourned.
