Slighted Apology
My words to you are formulated slowly, excruciatingly, drawn out.
I do not know how to make you understand and so
It all ends up in a jumble
Each word rushing over the next in their haste to escape my clumsy tongue.
In silence I wait
Regretful eyes trained to awkward toes
While you shove it all back down my throat.
