Cant we all just start over
Cant we all just have fun
Pretend that things didn't end
Where I hurt everyone
Where'd the good times all go
Where'd the friendships die off
Most have closed their accounts
Others simply logged off
When the ditch has been dug
Its so hard to climb out
Then the holes covered up
With pain and with doubt
I know things will never
Go back how they were
It happened so fast
In a big fuzzy blur
There's none to be done
Not one thing can be said
Just one sorrowful statement
While I bow my head
Its simple you see
to make things brand new
I wish that were the case
'cause I miss all of you...
-to my dear friends that I lost along the way... I'm sorry

What in God's name are you talking about, man?0

That's a great poem... But yeah.. not sure how many friends you'll get back. Sorry! Make new ones

Awe ... I'm not one of your "friends" but I can feel your sincerity. An apology well meant is the best place to start. *Blessings* Buddy :flowerforyou: 0

I have been on her quite a while, and I too feel that way when I see my friends are gone. Or haven't logged on in months. I send a note to let them know if they want to come back we are still here, hoping that they don't give up. Nice note!0

I hope the ones you are speaking to read this, it's a very sweet gesture.0

You should give her a break every now and then. Women need some space too you know.0 -

To those of you who feel the need to reply with a smartass response, this message is not for you. Though I know many people out there have nothing better to do than act like children... please just carry on with your day.
To the rest of you who have comment, I do appreciate your time, but I am not fishing for comments. Nor do I expect any of my old friends to "take me back". I messed up and ruined a lot of the relationships I had on here and have also been MIA for a very long time. I let down a lot of really good people that I talked to nearly every day. I messed up and while I know that probably none of them will ever read this, it just needed to be said.0 -
Why post it publicly if you don't want any comments, one way or the other, and you don't feel it would be effective in repairing any damage? You could just as easily "said" it without subjecting yourself to abuse.
Not bashing though. Though personally, I'm not one for passive gestures. I have made friends here, but the ones that become important to me are in my phone and on my FB list so even if they decide to leave MFP, we still stay connected.0 -
This is actually pretty cool of you. I would forgive you.0

Agreed. Rhyming poems are the bane of poetry. It's really hard for me as an editor to take a poet seriously when they focus on rhyming scheme over content, style, and statement.

I don't say that they do, or that they have to. I'm entitled to my opinion just as anyone else.
I changed my original comment within the 2 minutes after I posted because I changed my mind about what I wanted to say, and two people jumped on me for it... Nice.
Anyway, there was no bashing there. I stated something about my experience as an editor (and as a published poet) that is actually a pretty common opinion in the literary world. I didn't say this author was doing that, though, and that's why I decided to change my original comment because I figured people would misconstrue my statement.
Appears I was right.0 -

I think you probably edited it because you realized it sounded pretentious.0 -
Is this one of those junk pics gone wrong stories?0

I think someone needs a hug. Sorry you lost your friends, OP, but maybe if we keep bumping it, some of them will see this.

I don't think you know what that word means. That's okay though, go on with your bad self.
I'm out! hahaha 0 -
...so heartfelt...so honest...
Your apology shows humility and courage.
Even if unforgiven, you can move forward now. You are free from chains of past.
One more step though....
Forgive yourself....0 -
Not sure what is going on here, but you sound like you are legitimately hurting. I've been through a lot in life. Many things that others can't even begin to imagine. I think often we want everything to stay the same, but life constantly changes. We have to learn to be flexible and adjust. It's not comfortable.
It seems like you have lost friends on here. This might be a "fitness" or "weight loss" site, but when you look deeper it is a self improvement site. It sucks opening up to people and feeling hurt when they leave or cut us off.
If you need someone to talk to send me a PM.0 -
my condolences on your loss
and I'm sorry that you were the engineer of that loss.
nothing hurts more than coming to the realization that you have lost some very important things in your life...
through your own shortsighted and reckless actions.
I'm sorry that happened to you.0 -

You're the (pretentious) editor/poem writing expert, why don't you tell us what it means. :smokin:0 -
Are we talking real life friends here or MFP "friends"?0
-
Write me a poem I can send to people called "I'm sorry I did that when I was drunk"0

I liked the poem and a very nice way to reach out to your friends. If they read it, i am sure they will like it!0
