The Words I Didn't Mean

While I'm finally seeing you walk away
All I can feel is my fragile heart about to break
Just wishing that I could erase this mistake I have made

I'm slowly getting drenched as these old tears drip down my face
My veins will never forget the love and pain that was shown on this day
And now I will always be haunted by those words I never even wanted to say

The   last   of   your   steps   echo
Please, please, please come back!
I'm   swallowed   by   my   sorrow
No, no, no you just can't!

But now I realize the most important person in life has left me here all alone
I'm feeling the shock of it all sink in, it courses through and shatters every bone
I'm cracking, I'm breaking, I'm crumbling, ashes to dust, like glass shards hitting stone

You are the one and only lovely desire I will always know
But I failed to hold onto you, I never did want to let you go
As you slipped from my grasp, I started to fall into my remorse below
-
While I'm finally weeping pathetically on my knees
All I could do was whisper out to ask for your forgiveness, please
Just wishing that I could stand up and tell you every single apology

But now I'm slowly drowning from these tears of you, I can't even see
Feeling a fresh wound over my heart, it must be where your place used to be
And the words I said to you have come back to smother me, I can't even breathe

Remembering   the   look   in   your   eyes
Wait, wait, wait for me!
I   need   you   a   part   of   my   life
Hear, hear, hear me plead!

The love I had for you starts pouring out of me, please don't watch me bleed
Those untold dreams of you finally leave me, please don't watch them seep
This hole in my chest is now my resting place, so I had to dig it deep

I fully collapse, as I now await for my eternal sleep
This is the only way for me to truly be freed from this agony
I just hope that one day maybe you can forgive me for the words I didn't mean

As you walked away
I couldn't help but fall and break

I want to erase-
Or at least take back the words I didn't mean to say

The person walking away's perspective:

A single burst of rage and your woods cut through my soul,
everything broke and nothing was neither untouched nor whole.
With that, I felt pain which flared into defense, anger, and cold.
I was hurt and rash, my emotions I could not hold.
I swiftly turned around and said my final good byes.
And I walked away, tears on the rim of my eyes.
Only when I was far away did I realize what I had done.
I left you, my true love, my other half, my only one
with a cold shoulder I walked away, without a look back
but now reality hit me and my knees went slack.
I couldn't hold back the tears as I thought you would never take me back in
after all that had happened, how angry you had been.
I couldn't find my breathe, nothing was set right
and I had purposely extinguished my one and only light.
I wanted to go back, but how could you ever forgive me?
After all I did and how I left you so swiftly
when I could've just stayed and disregarded that remark
and realization hit me, painfully sharp, cruelly stark
As I knew that I had lost you and I broke down in despair
My own heart I wanted to wrench and tear.
I wanted to be at your side once more
But if you didn't want me back, then what for?
I rejected you, I was stupid, I was reckless and unbound
and under my painful regret was I drowned.
I wish I could go back, take back my actions, to see you once more
as I cry in agonizing pain, suffering from a broken core
please forgive me, and take me back once more

I really liked your direction on the other perspective. It's like both wanted to try and get each other back, but were afraid of the answer. Really creative, and it's kind of a little twist.

thank you! when I was reading it, I was like "oh my god the other person must've been hurt too~" and then it turned out like that.
That, and I think my global teacher is rubbing off on me, because she always says to argue the point from multiple sides.

Now comes the awaited comment by a fellow writer. Yes, your preview picture is cool. Your style of expression in this poem is also very interesting, and I can feel your emotion. I feel also the suggestion of lyrics, if you were considering submitting that way too. You are the second poet I remember reading who used both italics and bold font together to generate an effect, and you both did fairly well. Congrats!
