The Apology

Say you’re sorry... It echos still. Say you’re sorry Or I’ll send you away. Say you’re sorry Or I’ll lock you in your room. Say you’re sorry For making me feel this way. Say you’re sorry... Her words with portent loomed. And I was sorry Each night and day. And I said the words Every which way, Until I stopped And realized it was me Who deserved the apology.
