About the Poem

I wrote this poem as I do all my poetry from past experience. With this one I thought it was time to combat the phrase, "All Men Are Dogs." I want to be known as a man who is not afraid to show his feelings, and still be considered strong. I think that it is time to take away some of that negative image that women have of us. It's time to say "Sista...I'm Sorry"… Love Poems

Sista… I'm Sorry
by Charmer
Sista I'm sorry...for all the times he made you cry.
I'm sorry for all the times he left you wondering why.

Sista I'm sorry...for the many promises that he never, ever kept.
I'm sorry for all the times that he didn't come home, and all alone you slept.
Sista I'm sorry...that now you think all men will hurt you like he did.
I'm sorry that now you hurt so deep, so you choose to keep your feelings hid.

Sista I'm sorry...please believe that things will get better,
but only time can tell you when.
I'm sorry that I was not around to help you pick up the pieces,
but I'm here to help you put them back together again.

Sista I'm sorry...but he's not coming back,
believing that will only add to your frustration.
I'm sorry but you must do it for yourself,
there can only be self-gratification.

Sista I'm sorry...if you need more than that to help
the echoes of your mind ignore him.
I'm truly sorry, and if that's not enough
then allow me to apologize for him.

Sista I'm sorry...I know you've heard it
over and over from others.
I'm sorry but I must let you know
that there are still some damn good brothers.

Sista I'm sorry...if you haven't noticed
that I am the man for you.
I'm sorry if you can't see past his dirty deeds,
that I'm willing to do all I can for you.

Sista I'm sorry...if you don't believe me,
but I know that hurting you would only put the shame on me.
I'm sorry, but I'm not the one who hurt you,
so please don't put the blame on me.

Sista I'm sorry...if you can't see
that I'm willing to do whatever it takes.
I'm so very sorry, and if it means drying your tears for years,
I'm willing to pay for his mistakes.

That was amazing, I have never read anything like that before - and its so true - girls always end up blaming the next man .
nikkia
that poem was very touching. it was a graet poem. two thumbs up.

Yes I loved it. Me being a brother like to show his feelings too. Then there are them so called Bbrothers who disrespect the women and then women don't want to trust a brother anymore. I think more brothers need to read it.

This is a good poem. This is a poem that could be dedicated to a person that a person is cheating on them.
Janay
This is a great poem and it really touches the heart. I know what that girl is going through and i think you did really good putting that in words.
Monique
My name is Monique and today, just recently, went through a situation dealing with my boy friend. We broke up because he wasn't treating me with the respect and kindness that I deserve. He didn't beat me he just verbally hurt me. But now I know the actions to take when a male hurts my feelings. Don't deal with the pain and kick them to the curb. Thank you for making me feel like I wasn't the only one.
dominique
