Some Things I wanted To Say (CTPWC)

What happened, I thought I was a good man
But clearly I need some refinement
I admit I was not at my best
And I think I have failed this assignment

The thoughts I conveyed were not very clear
My words were taken all wrong
I've never been good at reading minds
It's something I really should work on

No excuses for my behaviour
I should know better by now
You're right and I'm wrong and I know it
So sorry for letting you down

I'd be totally lost without you
And you're perfect in every way
I'm not just trying to suck up
Just some things that I wanted to say

I can see my moods are annoying to you
My emotions show in my eyes
It's hard for me to say what I feel
These things I can't deny

Careless remarks and ill timed jokes
Are my ways of making things right
If I seem suprised when you start to cry
I didn't know we were in a fight

No excuses for my behaviour
I should know better by now
You're right and I'm wrong and I know it
So sorry for letting you down

I'd be totally lost without you
And you're perfect in every way
I'm not just trying to suck up
Just some things that I wanted to say

Nice poem. First one that was easy to understand.

Don't be too hard on yourself.

Thank you. It is actually a song that I had recently written that I thought might fit with the theme of the contest. Also if I'm being truthful the poem is meant to be a bit sarcastic even though the sentiment is genuine.

In a way it was written for you as I'm sure most men and women can identify with saying sorry just to be done with the conflict.

Indeed, most people can relate to it.
it's to me and from me.
