Sorry Poems For Her
You cannot let your girlfriend or wife be angry or upset for long. Calm down your lady, by sending her pleasing sorry poems, and get back together.
1. Inner Vault
I just feel so much guilt,
That my words and actions built.
I know, what I did was wrong,
Tried to avoid it, and be strong.
Following me has been the truth,
It was hurting like a tooth.
A second more, I could not deny,
Not apologizing was a lie.
I’m so sorry, from deep inside,
Clearly guilty, my hands are tied.
It was obviously, all my fault,
I have opened my inner vault.
—Unknown
2. An Apology
I’m sorry for everything I had said.
The thought of me making you cry repeats in my head.
I’m sorry I can never make you happy.
Inside I feel so crappy.
I’m sorry for wasting your time,
wanted to make you have a happy life.
I’m sorry I have failed, never do anything right.
I’m sorry that I had to say sorry
I promise my baby, my love, my world, my perfect angel, my girl,
that I would never say those awful things.
What hurts the most is that I broke my promise, made you cry.
Most of all, baby, I’m sorry that I lied.
―Rico Sainz
3. Please Forgive Me
You are the one who is hurt
But I am the one crying
You are the one who is scarred
But I am the one dying
You are the one with blisters
But I am the one bleeding
You are the one with wounds
But I am the one festering
I hope you can see how
I hurt when you are sad
I apologize for my mistakes
―Unknown
4. Sorry
I am sorry that my ego
Made my actions so shallow

Gave you pain in abundance
The way I treated you
Is something I will never do
I am sorry.

I can’t seem to fathom
What must have come over me
What I must have been thinking
When I lied to you unabashedly
I can’t seem to understand
What must have been in my psyche
How I didn’t even think
That I was just not being me
Making life difficult for you
Giving you more trouble to endure
I am sorry for giving you
Pain which was so uncalled for
―Unknown
6. You Are What I Know Of Love
You are what I know of love
You are my definition of a friend
You give my life it’s meaning
You’re my beginning and my end
You stand beside me always
In everything I do
I never thought in all my days
That I would every hurt you
Please forgive me.
―Unknown
7. Sincere Apologies
I don’t look at what I did
As a blunder
I look at it as a lesson
That makes me ponder
I don’t look at my folly
As my ultimate mistake
I look at what experience
From it I can take
If you see how keen I am
To learn from my errors
You’ll realize that my apology
Is an honest endeavor
―Unknown
8. Shallow Sorry
If my words were like a nail
Your feelings were the board
No matter how many times I say I’m sorry
Deep down you still are scored
I never meant to hurt you
I’ll never understand
We’ve been through so much together
What I’d give to take your hand!
You know you are my best friend
My soul is empty and lost
I was so hurt and angry
Not knowing what it cost
Darling, don’t give up yet
Please believe in me
I will show you what love is
Give me time and you will see
―Sean O’Brien
9. Pardon Me Dear

Into a silly smirk

To make my magic work
I will take a minute
To convert your grimace
Back into a sweet smile
On your beautiful face
I am sorry
―Unknown
10. I Regret

I was crazy
To hurl curses
I was nasty

I will turn a new leaf
Never again, will I ever
Give you grief
I am sorry
―Unknown
11. Sorry Honey
What was I thinking
When I broke your heart into two
I wonder what made me
Give heartbreak to you
Now that I look back
I can see that I was stupid
You have all the reason
To be angry for what I did
I am sorry
―Unknown
12. Decide To Fight Never
Fights and arguments happen
Because of differences in opinion
Quarrels and squabbles take place
But this can be just a phase
Verbal battles too ensue
Couples devoid of it are few
But this is a part of the game
On me, don’t put the blame
Let’s understand each other
And decide to fight never
―Unknown
13. I Love You So
My life was complete
But now it’s not
I lost it all, because I fought.
She made me alive Now I am dead
I’m laying here Crying in my bed
Life is worthless So give it one last chance
And I will make it into something
I love you too much I can’t let you go
So look into my eyes And say I love you so
―Unknown

like you did once before
I want to make your heart see
what mine is living for.

So sorry for me and you

Today between us there is no comfort
I know you have been very deeply hurt
It will take time for wounds to heal
Lost and lonely you may also feel,

Hate can never conquer this great passion.
It will finally lose in emotional war of this bastion
I will then return all your happiness
And our true love God will always bless.
