Hope Someday I Get It Right A Poem

Hope Someday I Get It Right A Poem

Would my love have mattered?
If it were spoken
And felt
Instead of kept to myself?

Would my love have given
You more to live for?
Now I think I lost out.
As you are gone forever.

It was hard for me
I couldn't be encumbered.
I wanted more for my life
Not to become a caretaker
Like I had been
For so many years
For my mother.

I am selfish.
And full of guilt.
That I did what
Was the least I could.
I became your friend.
And at that at times
I could have been
A so much better one.

I could have been there
When you were all alone.
I could have helped
You out in so many ways.
But I did not.
I had something else to do
Or came up with
Some excuse.

I would ask
For your forgiveness.
But that is not possible.
I will just go on knowing
That I make mistakes
In life and love
And hope someday
I get it right.
And somehow find
Someone who can
Look past my flaws.

 This is not related to my previous poem as a subject. I lost my friend who I feel guilty about not doing more for...I could have loved him and that might have made for a less painful and lonely end.

 I guess you might have, but like you said... you didn't want to be a caretaker.
That's always a tough call. I don't know what I would have done... We have a tendancy to shy away from stuff like that, don't we?

 Hey Darlin,
We all have scars, marks and tattoos from life, we’ve all made mistakes and we all have regrets. These are the things that define us as people. You wouldn’t be the beautiful person you are know without those mistakes.

Thank you for your understanding. I think he understood where I was coming from. I missed out on a lot in life. But it's still not sitting well with me as I could have done more for him.

 I am sure your friend appreciated all the time you spent with him. I am willing to bet he felt better with you in his life than he did before and in the end that's what matters.
