Do I murder you when I walk out the door?
Do I leave gaping wounds within you when I step into your path?
Do I drown you underwater or cause you to asphyxiate
In this air of unbidden anguish I exert over you?
Do I condemn you for my crimes while I languish in my pride
Or make you sink into the netherworld while I perform my paean?
Im sorry; I was the criminal.
Did I shape you as the antithesis of who you really are?
Did I seem detrimental in my words to you?
Did I paint your vision morose and lugubrious or make the
Beasts wander and plant mutations in your blameless mind?
Did I play mordantly with you and sting your soul
With the countless misdeeds Ive committed against you?
Im sorry; Ill fasten my own handcuffs.
Was I balancing on icicles when I meant to be kind to you?
Was I twisting your mind about like it was a paltry object?
Was I presenting you as the fool while I hid behind this
Man-made wall of negativity and cowardice?
Was I blinding you with an untruth, passing myself off as
A higher being when I was merely a kings pawn?
Im sorry; this is my retribution.
These eyes have seen enough of life to know that
Making amends will prove an arduous task.
Forgiveness is fragile, I do concede, but I have made up my mind
Ill grant you peace and Ill leave you be
I never want to impair you again, so Ill just
Leave.

That first line is GREAT! The whole poem reads very well. I stumbled upon this one and I'm glad I did. Fantastic sense of sarcasm. I really enjoyed this poem. I look forward to reading more of your work. Beautiful.
