If I took you for granted
I could not apologize enough
And if I kept you at a distance
Well, that's just how I've always been
And if we could have been something more than we are now
I cannot help but take my share of the blame
And my share is a lot
If I took you for granted
I could not apologize enough
And if I ever pushed you away
Well, that's just how I've always been
And if we could be something more than we are now
I cannot help but want to take that chance
If there is a chance to be taken
If I took you for granted
It was never my intention
And if I ever pushed you away
I don't want to anymore
And if it's too late
Well, that's just how I've always been
"Friends get scattered by the wind, tossed upon the waves, lost for years on end. Friends slowly drift apart, they give away their hearts, maybe call you now and then..."
That was amazing!
ReplyDeleteI can soooo relate .
You are an awesome writer.
you gotta love it when a man owns up to his mistake. great poetry Bone.
ReplyDeleteI love NaBloSoThaDraWe almost as much as I'm loving Blogust. Got anything else in the Bonechives that's this good? :) Also, why do these things not get posted before NaBloSoThaDraWe when they're amazing? I don't get it?
ReplyDeleteI think we all take people for granted. We can only hope we realize it and correct our mistakes before it's too late.

ReplyDeleteSoccerMom - Thank you. Totally random, but if you swapped up the last two lines of your comment, you'd have a comment haiku.
ReplyDeleteNanquillity - Thanks. As a guy, I think at some point it becomes easier to just always assume we're wrong :)
TC - Because, hello, then I'd have nothing to post for NaBloSoThaDraWe :)
Glad you're enjoying Blogust. And thanks for participating in NaBloSoThaDraWe.
Robyn - I suddenly feel we're nearing the point where we can communicate entirely in symbols and emoticons.
Also, I see you get your sunglasses at the same place as my dad ;o)
hello bone~ stopped by to say i can't open your email address to send your invitation out. can you send me your email address to naquillity at hotmail dot com? i'll send out your password afterward. thanks.
ReplyDeletealso, Naquillity will definitely be up and running.
And if I kept you at a distance
ReplyDeleteWell, that's just how I've always been
I can so relate, Bone. A beautiful poem, poignantly expressed...thanks for sharing.
Quality writing, Bone.
ReplyDeleteVery nice.
ReplyDeleteWow Bone. You at your best. It punches, truly punches. Not a false or wasted note in it
ReplyDeleteNaquillity - Have done. Thanks for the invite.
ReplyDeleteSweetest In The Gale - Thanks for the nice words. I never feel adequate venturing into poetry.
OK Chick - Well, I'm pretty sure you've never said those words to me. Thanks :)
Daily Panic - Thanks, DP.
Pia - Not a false or wasted note in it
Thanks. I know these types of posts aren't easy to comment on a lot of times, but that was insightful.
Actonbell - Thank you.
that's sad and reads very true for me... i often am apologizing
ReplyDeleteBecause, hello, then I'd have nothing to post for NaBloSoThaDraWe :)
ReplyDelete'Eh, I'd give up NaBloSoThaDraWe if it meant we got more brilliant Bone posts more often :)
Bone, that was spectacular. You should blog more often....more often.
ReplyDeleteHow I wish I could listen to something similar from..well...no one!
ReplyDeleteBTW, it is never too late!
Sage - Glad I'm not the only one.
ReplyDeleteTC - You don't really mean that. You'd miss it :)
Cooper - Thank you, Miss Cooper. If only there were another way to blog more often besides blogging more often.
Gautami - I'd never considered how it would be to be on the receiving end of the piece.
