I'm Sorry that I Doubted You
Hear me read
the poem as
an MP3 file.
Watch me read
the poem as
an MP4 file.
I'm sorry that I doubted you,
For love depends on trust.
The angry tide of jealousy
Retreats because it must.
How stupid it would be to lose
What I most want for fear
Of losing it! That irony
Is now to me quite clear.
So please don't worry that I might
Again be so untrue
To love as to betray the trust
My love has placed in you.
