Apology Accepted
Trying to say
I am sorry
takes every fibre in my being to new levels.
I cannot fathom out
the uncontrollable hurt
and sense of loss
that
burns within me...
Sorry -
a shallow grave of vocabulary,
a sham of emotion
but how can I prove
that all I say is honest
and true,
that all I feel is what I do...
Love, caring, doldrums of hopelessness?
What acidic retort will I get in return?
Probably a shoulder of ice,
a frozen relic of the past -
ignorance and foolish pride...
Whatever you do,
I don't mind
because
at least I would have been a man...
and said I am sorry!
