The Apology Came Too Late

“I'm Sorry”
They said to the lifeless body.

There's no remorse in their eyes.
A hint of pleasure.

They know it was their fault.

Leaving them alone. 

They knew the person was lost.
Afraid.

They begged for you to. . .

Stay? 
.
Your body lies there.
The bleeding stopped. 
You cried for them but they left
Why do you still want them? 

They.

Hurt.

You.
