Please let me offer
A sincere apology
I’m very sorry
Lame excuses don't cut it.
Takes more than flowers to impress me.
Man up ~ say you're sorry.

It was never my intention,
not a conscious decision,
to cause you any level of grief.
Our give and take wasn’t as envisioned.
Blindly, I let you fall between my gaps.
It’s not right or wrong, but fact that
I got lost in a thronged rhythm
recovering from things life had given.
You have always shone a warm light
selflessly bright into my life.
Stern storms drowned my content,
turned me until forlorn bent.
I pursued a healing renewal but
my drenched attempts were futile -
I didn’t mean to hurl you into my duel.
Please accept my sincere apology
for giving less than you handed me.
I’d never set out to hurt another
but denying friendship gratitude
colors me pallid shades of rude.
I’m sorry, honey.
O.K. I accept your apology.
No, wait. Hold on.
What is it?
I mean it. I'm really sorry.
Are you?
Yes, I am.
How would I know?
I’ve thought about what I’ve done.
That’s it?
And I’m never going to do it again
Even if you find yourself in the same situation?
Yes, even then. … I'm determined to overcome my baser instincts!
Even if there's no one there to catch you transgressing?
Yes. Even if I'm by myself.
Then you really are sorry.
And ashamed of myself, before God, for letting you down, honey.
Thank you. I accept your apology now whole-heartedly.
Let's go to synagogue now. Let us praise God and ask for His forgiveness, that we may atone for all of our sins...
Did you say you are sorry, my friend,
With a genuine feeling of humble contrition,
Or was your “Sorry about that!” a means to an end,
To change your ill-considered, untenable position
Without regard for my miserable condition?

“I couldn’t care less” is easy to say
When brushing off a critical slur
Or covering up something unkind
Said to excuse a thoughtless deed
If sincere regret is what’s in mind
Perhaps you should say, “Grrrrrrrr,
I could care less,” and slink away!

If I hurt your feelings, I can honestly say,
I will be quick to offer the best apology I can
I’m so sorry, I really didn’t mean to spoil your day.
I am sorry that I sat on your cat and squashed it to smithereens
But I lost a bet, so I had to do it. Not my fault really.
I apologize for being late, but there were cows in the road.
I am truly feeling bad for hurting your feelings, but I cannot stop my words.
I hope you will accept my apology for lying to you.
It is what everyone does in my family, and I like to fit in every so often.
Please forgive me for spreading that rumor about you.
I know this is no excuse, but I heard a lot worse before I threw in this one.
I am sorry that I lied and stole and betrayed your trust.
But it is your fault for being too dhramned naïve.
They say I said.
But I stammered.
They quoted the spluttered,
and only said what they imagined.
Did i say what they imagined?
Reflecting,
I meant no harm.
Think no shame on me.
And if indeed they say I said it,
or my part repels for a moment
Take this as my apology .
Cannot think of an adjective that starts with a Y a third grade girl says.
We are on virtual, so they are at home with parents, but we speak
through our individual videos.
Youthful, I suggested.
Another third grader corrected me.
Useful starts with a U.
You are correct, and I am correct, I told him.
Useful does start with a U.
But youthful, which is the adjective I gave her starts with a Y.
Oh, he said.
No apology.
I heard his mother in the background.
Not happy that he had incorrectly tried to correct his teacher.
He was on mute, and I am sorry that I missed it.
I could tell by his face it was good.
Please accept my most sincere apologies
For having dared to believe in those dreams
Which have been thrust upon me by the Gods!
Those dreams which had blurted out the connection
We both shared and were meant to share for eras on end!
Please accept my most sincere apologies
For having dared to believe in my own madness
As everything else and everyone else
Around me
Is what I perceive as being mad in their own way!
Please accept my most sincere apologies
For having wished to have your soul tied to mine
As such was what I was guided upon!
Freedom is where love lies
Yours remain with you
Mine shall be seeped in the molecules of the universe!

I'm at your grave on this mournful day
There is so much that I want to say
I turned my back when you needed me
Ignored the signs that were plain to see.
I was so selfish living the life
Didn't matter that you were my wife
You were dying but I looked away
Guilt I now have that is here to stay.
I'm much wiser now but it's too late
And must live now with what is my fate
I had my chance but threw it away
Bad choices I made now I must pay.
You forgave me as you were dying
We hugged and kissed and you were crying
I realised then that our love was true
I'm sorry I wasn't there for you.

Elegant written letter
speaking from a gentle heart
will include the person's name
A terrific place to start.
Lame sorry excuse and the apology inaudible
Sunblood splashed on celestial canvas
Daytime answers drain away
Into the throes of unknown night
To penetrate her hope with pinion's teeth
Her lissome pride humbled by
His honor laid at her feet
Her lips too quick to besmirch
His offering of sacrifice
Her sojourn beneath the arch
Of firmament's eternity
Under a thousand eyes,
A thousand thoughts,
A thousand words,
For one apology
Until the dawn's mercy
Brings repose to her atonement
In the journey to forgiveness
There is more than one way home.
