Holly my dear,
I remember,
When my thoughts of you,
Were less tender.
However now,
I have remorse,
I didn't see you,
For who you are.

This is my testament,
An apology late in giving.
I wish I had seen you for what you are,
A rose amongst the thorns.
I'm sorry I treated you badly,
But the past is past and the future is now.

I see you true,
My sweetest rose,
I'll let you sleep,
Won't let you go.

Sleep now my Love,
And don't forget,
I'll Love you now and always,
With no regrets.

I hope you guys like this. I wrote it for my girlfriend, and she seemed to like it. Quite proud of the metre, but the rhyme at the end of the first stanza isn't too shit hot.

I like the third stanza muchly.

Basically this is about how I used to treat her quite badly when we wern't as serious as we are now, and an apology and promise because of that.

Metre goes: 3,4,5,4,3,4,5,4- 6,9,10,6,9,10- 4,4,4,4- 4,4,7,4.

My only critique is concerning the penultimate line of the second stanza: "I'm sorry I treated you badly,". I personally feel that it's too direct, and lacks a poetic feel.

I like the third stanza very much as well! Very sweet poem. :) :bulletblue:

Wow, I'm surprised that that was the critisism tbh. Lol. I just thought I should have the word sorry in there, as it was an apology, and I actually gave it to my lady. Haha.

Cheers! :D
