Best Apologise Poems
When people hurt us, the best thing we can do is let them go with forgiveness, love and light. This doesn't excuse what they did; and it doesn't mean you have to accept their behaviour or let them back into your life. It simply means that you deserve to feel and experience the peace and freedom that forgiveness gives you. Let your love and light inspire grace, compassion, and mercy. Blessings.
It's too late to apologise
By Michelle Morris

You're standing on your soapbox
Ready to make a speech
You think that it will sway me
All the passion and reasons you give
But, you don't seem to fathom
You don't seem to have a clue
I'm beyond your persuasion
My heartbreak was a wake-up move
Well, I can forgive the hurt
I can even move on again
But I want nothing more to do with you
My tracks are for a different train
Because...
It's too late to apologise
(Too late, too late)
It's too late for you and I
(Too late, too late)
Too late to apologise
(Too late, too late)
One day you'll know the sacrifice
(Too late, too late)
Forgive and forget
Doesn't take away my pride
Forgive and forget
Doesn't give you another try
You're standing on your soapbox
You think it's about dramatic deeds
But humility and real remorse
Would make a far better deal
I look at you in disbelief
I can't understand your ways
It's complete insanity
So, all I can do is hope and pray
Because...
It's too late to apologise
(Too late, too late)
It's too late for you and I
(Too late, too late)
Too late to apologise
(Too late, too late)
One day you'll know the sacrifice
(Too late, too late)
Forgive and forget
Doesn't take away your lies
Forgive and forget
Doesn't (ever) give you another try
Because...
It's too late to apologise
(Too late, too late)
It's too late for you and I
(Too late, too late)
Too late to apologise
(Too late, too late)
One day you'll know the sacrifice
(Too late, too late)

There's one ugly truth in present I've found?
While running east and west -?
The only souls we truly wound?
Are those we love the best.?
We please those we barely know,
?We satisfy the fading guest
?And deal full many a brainless blow
?To those who love us best.
Apologise no more!

Those old colours warm, memories so soft
Now ghosted opaque tangled display
Images that filled memorable searched thought
Now quickened footsteps that fast fade away
An unforgotten touch, soft the whispering voice
That soothed this dark and troubled mind
I buried beneath such hurtful words,
Words often spat midst troubled times
Now as lifetime I review, such is pitiful déjà vu,
The re-occurrence of self-destructive mistakes
The rape of a soul shedding tears beyond count
Absorbed to crown my growing wake
Dominant views that so painfully drained
The life, the hope, the love of another
Abandoned minds left scattered so far behind
too many I have left the broken ex-lover
Amidst hurtful chaos, actions meaningless a plenty
Without thought I gave and so readily supplied
This was our time and for this and much more
In self-imposed isolation, alone, I choose to cry
I took without thought, consequence seemed naught
Addicted to shaded bipolar skies
But with passing of years and the flood of caused tears
Finally … I apologise
Your so called friends draw their knives
and stick their nose into others lives
With snide remarks and a dirty look
putting lies on face book
All anonymous so there is nothing you can do
unable to find out who is spreading lies about you
When you eventually find out and ask them why
They look in your face and still they will lie
And when they lie and say but I am your friend it was not me
Your the one who ends up giving them an apology.
What does it take to apologise
What does it take to say, 'I am Sorry'
No one should vent, huff and puff in a bad way
Lower thy voice make that wise choice
To remain still, calm and nice
Avoid letting Emotions and Feelings
Turn your day upside down
Be the BIGGER man
Choose to make that RIGHT choice.
