When Sorry Is Not Enough

What do you do when sorry is not enough? 
Lost for words and trapped 
Trapped in the misery you’ve made yourself 
Unable to change what was said 
But not knowing how to fix the mistakes 
And words 
Words just aren’t there 
Not there to show the pain and remorse 
Regrets or hurting him 
Him this person that you love 
And there is no walking away 
Away to let it fix itself 
An impossible concept of the hopeful 
The anger and lack of forgiveness is hard to bare 
In your head all you can think is 
I did this
You sit and you cry, lost in time 
The weight of u guilt pressing down on you 
Wanting to hear him say 
Everything is ok 
But knowing it won’t come, not what you deserve 
Loving, loving so much it hurts 
And knowing you’ve brought things to ruins 
So, what do you do when sorry is not enough 
And it seems everything is at its end 
When comforts not in his arms 
And you can’t see a way to fix it and apologize 
To say “Baby I love you” 
And have it be ok. 
But all there is to say is “Sorry” 
Turn away and cry.
