Njeri Hunjeri Poet Rhyme

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.
