A TEACHER'S APOLOGY

I know we can talk,

That despite all you'll rise; walk!

This betrayal your eyes display will not shake you

Nor the pain you think I caused break you

I know not why you bore the scourge

Why you lost your courage

Once you had faith 

You could move mountains and swerve waters

Once you believed

And you stood tall refusing to waiver or despair

But now you seek solace from the earth

You give the moon and sun your back

How I have wronged you I don't know

I could apologise but no

I will not say a word you won't hear

I will not utter any until you are here

Close to me, facing me

So you can listen, so you can hear me

I have begged, I have asked

Still you deny me your face

You sing in somber tones

Your pitiful lament, this war song

It paints for me your grey hues

Your tormented and bleeding heart

I could give you this chiffon

White like mountain lilies

Soft like a caress...a memory

I could let you cry it all out 

And maybe wipe it off with this

And store your pain in my armoury

I want to...

I want to cradle you

I need to hold you tight 

Yet like the Egyptian Nile

And the Orange River are we apart

Let this be therefore my demise

That I cannot heal your pain

That I cannot mend your heart

Or wipe your tears

Because as yours weeps 

Mine tears apart with every drop

You will shed.
