Am Sorry

Am sorry That's all I needed to hear All this time I felt you didn't care All this time I looked at us and felt it wasn't fair All this time I looked inside me and felt that I couldn't bear Am sorry Why did it take you this long Why did you wait for the pain to be this far gone Why did you let the anger penetrate so deep like a thorn That for a long time, tears is all I wore That everyday my mirror reflection was worn out That today, now, this moment of your sorry, I wonder if this song would last.

Emotionally expressed, Njeri...these are the most difficult words for so many to say out loud and still more difficult to follow-up with sincere change...hugs, Rhonda

Emotive...sad and beautiful write, Njeri. Forgiveness frees the offended from bitterness and the offender from the heavy burden. Hugs! Kim :)

Heavy emotional torrents from the persona, something ought to be done...

You write straight from the heart, dear. I enjoyed this poem and hope things turn out with this "sorry" person.

Such a deep emotional and sad write Njeri - we know it can take a lot of courage to be able to apologise but the pain it causes runs so deep - love the imagery here:-) Hugs Jan xx 7 xx
