Apologia

Blunt words sharp
In rude harp
Can grind flesh
In harsh dash


It is sad
That words mad
Drench more pain
Once again


Wrong words strap
A blunt trap
As hurts sum
Pain that comes


Loose tongue kills
Skin that peels
In wrong vein
Crude torn pain


Just speak soft
Not high loft
Say: "Sorry.
Forgive me."
