Sorry

How do people say sorry How do they begin, I seek to know I have gone to hospitals at home and abroad The doctors have tried their part The surgeons have checked my tongue And found it fine The prophets have looked in books for clues They checked the demons and found them gone When they placed a heap of books atop my head I got a migraine The magicians have scattered tarots I focused on Hocus pocus Alakazam I lost my breath Jantar Mantar Jadu Mantar, someone chanted When they all spelled the words on cards I fainted I have a health of words, other words Really…, I see…, I get the point…, Okay…, that’s true…, I understand… But to say sorry! I sweat, my heart beat hurts, My head aches Nausea sets in, my vision blurs, I shiver, I gasp I have tried something I have tired everything I also tried nothing There is nothing I can do about it I am sorry!
