Here's a collection of useful apology poems that you may use as a unique way of apologizing to someone. Whether it's a close friend or your loving partner, they deserve a sincere apology.
We all make mistakes and sometimes hurt the people in our lives that we care about. One of the best ways to fix things, is by simply apologizing (from our hearts).
That first poem is fairly general and may apply to any situation.
You may share it with your best friend or a family member like your mom, dad, sister or brother.
I wish I wrote this poem when I was younger since I didn't always bother to apologize when I hurt someone (pride sometimes got in the way).
I think it's important for each of us to learn to apologize. By doing so, we will strengthen our relationships with the people who are dear in our lives.
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.

The next poem is titled - "Crime". This is just a metaphor that I use for hurting someone's feelings in this poem. I decided to use this word because it has the potential to stir up emotions and also attract the readers attention.
Crime
I'm really sorry for my recent actions,
Selfishly searching for your reactions.
What I did was not very kind,
I don't know what, got into my mind.
Something wrong with my psychology,
From my heart I bring this apology.
I know there are no valid excuses,
Negative feelings arguments produces
I'm really sorry, I truly care,
What I did was completely unfair,
Hope you forgive me over time,
I feel awful about my crime.

"Chance to explain", is a classic phrase that many of us use when trying to defend ourselves from accusations of wronging or hurting someone.
At least this poem does not make excuses and rather places the fault on the person that did the hurting.
I think it's very important to admit guilt if you want someone to eventually forgive you.
Chance to Explain
Please give me a chance to explain,
What I did was completely vain.
It was clearly way beyond rude,
Completely stupid, I must conclude.
I used words, I did not mean,
I need to stop - acting fifteen.
My actions and words, simply not right
I'm sorry for my anger and spite.
Please give me a chance to explain,
There must be something wrong with my brain.
My emotions, I must learn to control,
And never hurt you, this is my goal.
By tree.cards
I really hope that you get your chance to explain and the person you are trying to apologize to, accepts your apology.

Admitting that you are ashamed of what you said or did is a great start to an apology. The last thing you want to do is defend your wrongful actions. Sometimes it's tough to admit guilt, but that's what it often takes to make things better between couples.
The next one is one of my favourite poems in this section, because it's very simple and it's titled "I Was Wrong!". We all know, those are the type of words that our significant others enjoy hearing when we hurt them. Sure it takes a little bit of courage. However, I strongly believe, the better we get at communicating our guilt, the stronger our relationships will become. Nobody wants to walk around with negative energy or a grudge, that's why we must apologize ASAP!
I Was Wrong!
I agree, I was wrong,
Wish I could, sing a song,
I know you're very, very mad,
What I did, was super bad.
Nothing about it, I am proud,
I was trying to impress the crowd.
Next time I should really think,
Maybe even see a shrink.
What I'm trying to really say,
My love for you grows every day.
We should never, ever fight,
I need to hold you, every night.

Apology Poem for Girlfriends
Here's an apology poem for girlfriends, that was specifically written to be shared with all those girlfriends out there that have been hurt.
I'm So Sorry……
I've been so lucky to have a girl like you,
I'm so sorry, if you only knew.
Feel so bad, for being so rude,
I'm so sorry, I messed up your mood.
I promise to treat you like my Queen,
I'm so sorry for being so mean.
If only somehow, I could make things better,
This poem's from my heart, not just a letter.
Your inner and outer beauty amaze,
I'm so sorry, for my crazy phase.
I wish to give you, my entire heart,
Please forgive me, with a fresh start.

There are four instances in the above poem that mention the short phrase - "I'm so sorry". If you decide to share it with your girlfriend, I don't know if 4 will be enough. You may need to say it a couple more dozen times, depending on the severity of the situation. Whatever you do, just make sure that you are sincere, and sound it.
Apology Verse for Boyfriends
Amazing Guy
You are such an amazing guy,
I'm really sorry, I just want to cry.
What I did, I cannot accept,
Cried so much, I haven't slept.
You simply mean so much to me,
I was blind, now I can see.
Reasons, I just don't know why,
Please don't leave, don't say goodbye.
Promise to make it up to you,
Right now, I just feel so blue.
I'm so sorry, on my knees I cry,
You are one amazing guy.

To increase the effectiveness of this poem, you may want to also print it out and decorate it with pictures and graphics that your boyfriend might enjoy. So if he's a huge football fan, you could always decorate it with a football theme.
Apology Poems for Friends
Hope you like these apology poems for friends. Share one of them with a friend that you are not on the best terms with, or just recently got into a fight with.
Sometimes we end up hurting our closest and dearest friends without even realizing until it's too late. The worst thing we could do is give our friends time and just ignore them after the heated incident. They may start thinking that we just hurt them and we don't care.
Instead, we should apologize and show how bad we feel as soon as we can. The first friendship poem may be shared with a very close friend that you might have hurt. I hope you're forgiven and your relationship continues from where it left off.
Close Friend
A close friend, I don't wish to lose,
Sometimes we have different views.
I had no right to act that way,
Allow me to apologize, with no more delay.
Sometimes I can be very mean,
Other times, I may cause a huge scene.
There's no reason that I should snap,
I clearly deserve, more than a slap.
You're my close friend, I don't wish to lose,
Never wanted to hurt you, not even a bruise.
I really hope, we can be like before,
I'm so sorry, my heart is real sore.

The first line of the next apology poem talks about taking a friendship for granted. I think we are all guilty of this occasionally. Maybe because we get so used to things and maybe because we just get very busy with our lives. The worst thing we could possibly do in my eyes is just call our friends when we need something from them (like their help or advice).
Instead, we should always show concern for them first, and ask how they are doing and how their families are doing. But we need to do this genuinely. Personally, I can't stand "friends" that only call when they need something. Why don't they call when they don't need anything, just to chat and see how I'm doing?
These are the type of lessons that help us figure out who our real friends are in this life.
I Plea
I may have taken our friendship for granted,
Many years ago, it has been planted.
I did not mean, the words that I said,
Don't know what, got into my head.
Last thing I'd want, our friendship to perish,
Deep in my heart, I adore and I cherish.
You have always been there for me,
If I am a leaf, than you are my tree.
My words are sometimes filled with dirt,
I'm really sorry, I did not want to hurt.
Our friendship means so much to me,
Please forgive me, I beg you, I plea!

Short Apology Poem
Now this is a very short verse. It's definitely short enough to text quickly. In this poem of just 6 lines you are still able to say that you're sorry, mention you didn't mean to hurt the person, give a compliment (charm), and still ask for forgiveness. Now that's what I call an effective apology poem.
Please
I'm so sorry, I truly care,
This short poem, I'd like to share.
Never wish to cause you harm,
You are always filled with charm.
Please forgive me, on my knees,
Please forgive me, oh please and please!

Best I’m Sorry Poems
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.
To be one with each other
What greater thing is there for two human souls
than to feel that they are joined together to strengthen
each other in all labor, to minister to each other in all sorrow,
to share with each other in all gladness,
to be one with each other in the
silent unspoken memories?
~ George Eliot
The following poem by Elizabeth Barrett Browning is a well-known standard that has helped to mend many relationship fences. It’s been around for ages because it’s so perfect for so many ‘apology’ related reasons…
How Do I Love Thee?
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of everyday’s
Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood’s faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints,–I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life!–and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.
True friendship is a gift
Oh so precious and so rare
Sometimes we take it for granted
Sometimes we do despair
Our fault is being human
Mistakes are everywhere
Please let me not lose the gift
That is so precious and so rare.
I am sorry to hurt your feelings my love
I should have kept my promises as I have told you
But I don’t know the reason why I did wrong to you
I felt sad when I show your tears rolling on your cheeks
I know you are very upset over me
and don’t want to talk to me either
If you feel that I had hurt you by unpleasant words
then please forgive me and accept my sorry
Do not stop talking to me my love
If you do so, my heart will burst into thousand pieces
You know how much I am in love with you
and without you my loneliness will take me to hell
Always, there is a special place in my heart for you
where my love for you is so passionate and true
No one can melt my heart like you do
nor clutch my soul to give me new life-like you
My love, please talk to me again
and I promise your love in my life
will be pleasant until my end.
Please give me a chance to explain,
What I did was completely vain.
It was clearly way beyond rude,
Completely stupid, I must conclude.
I used words, I did not mean,
I need to stop – acting fifteen.
My actions and words, simply not right
I’m sorry for my anger and spite.
Please give me a chance to explain,
There must be something wrong with my brain.
My emotions, I must learn to control,
And never hurt you, this is my goal.
There’s one sad truth in life I’ve found
While journeying east and west –
The only folks we really wound
Are those we love the best.
We flatter those we scarcely know,
We please the fleeting guest,
And deal full many a thoughtless blow
To those who love us best.
~ Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Sorry is a small word I know,
I may not have many feelings to show,
But, forgive me now and end this woe,
You also know,
That I cannot stay without you my love,
I think about you all the time,
So, please forgive me for what I did,
Please let me call you mine,
Sorry my love!
I have many times said sorry
I have sent you a lovely apology
But you haven’t responded even once
Now I can’t bear your silence
Please reply from wherever you are
Light up my life-like a shining star
Until then I will pray with all my might
For everything between us to become alright
I’m sorry of being so emotional
I’m sorry of being so possessive
I’m sorry that I cry for you
I’m sorry because I can’t live without you
I’m sorry for the tears you shed
I’m sorry for the damage I made
I’m sorry I’ve made you sick
Sorry I hurt you so deep
I’m sorry for giving you sleepless nights
I’m sorry for each and every fight
I’m sorry for your pain & agony
I’m sorry for the missing harmony
I’m sorry for my selfish love
I’m sorry for not caring enough
I’m sorry for my restlessness
I’m sorry for the losing grace
I’m sorry my friend I made you mad
I’m sorry darling you are so sad
Sorry for not giving you any happiness
Sorry because it’s my disgrace
I’m sorry for thinking of you so very much
I’m sorry I always miss your touch
I’m sorry of being so mad about you
I’m sorry for my every blue
I’m sorry of being so immature
I’m sorry now that can’t be cured
I’m sorry of being myself
I’m sorry that I’ve failed
I’m sorry and sorry again
I’m sorry of being insane
But believe me that I love you
Should I say sorry for that too?
I look in the mirror, feel so much shame.
It was my fault, I deserve all the blame.
Just don’t know what I was thinking,
With all this shame, I feel like I’m sinking.
All the consequences, I completely deserve,
Can’t imagine, where I found the nerve,
I just feel like the biggest fool,
What I did, was simply not cool.
Your forgiveness, I earnestly plead,
Without it, my heart won’t be freed.
Please forgive me, I miss you so much,
Beautiful voice and your tender touch.
Relationships are fragile I know,
You have to care and show,
That I love you so,
But, can’t you forgive me for one mistake,
This moment, can’t you change your take?
Coz without you I am incomplete,
You are in my every heartbeat,
So, please forgive me!
I want to apologize to you
In every way possible
I want to make it up to you
On the double
I want to see you happy
As soon as I can
Giving you hugs and kisses
Is the first step of my plan
I am sorry
Sometimes in my heart
Or when I hear your name
I think of the day I lost you
There still is so much pain
You were my love
And also my best friend
With you I choose to be with
My life I wanted to spend
I’m so sorry I hurt you
It sincerely breaks my heart
Please forgive me my love
And give me a new start
I want you to know that
I’ll love you forever
I still have hope that someday
We’ll get back together
Dear parents,
I forgive you my life,
Begotten in a drab town,
The intention was good;
Passing the street now,
I see still the remains of sunlight.
It was not the bone buckled;
You gave me enough food
To renew myself.
It was the mind’s weight
Kept me bent, as I grew tall.
It was not your fault.
What should have gone on,
Arrow aimed from a tried bow
At a tried target, has turned back,
Wounding itself
With questions you had not asked.
~ R. S. Thomas
I have eaten
the plums
that were in
the icebox
and which
you were probably
saving
for breakfast
Forgive me
they were delicious
so sweet
and so cold
~ William Carlos Williams
I never saw a wild thing
sorry for itself.
A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough
without ever having felt sorry for itself.
~ D.H. Lawrence
