Sorry
Sorry is all very well
But it's only a word.
Sorry can't un-say what's said
Or un-hear what's heard.
Sorry can't feed hungry mouths
Or clothe the unclothed.
It can't make suddenly loved
What's always been loathed.
Sorry is all very well
But it cannot undo.
It cannot believe what is false
If it's always been true.
Sorry is said all the time
With hardly a thought.
But sorry is only a word
Or so we've been taught.

Poetry: I'm sorry
The glass left tracks,
at the corner of your brown eyes,
On a Kodak moment,
Better left behind,
Every word spoken,
Tore it all
I'm sorry I wasn't willing
To change myself into what you wanted.
I'm sorry I wasn't able
To be someone worth loving.
I'm sorry
The words you say you don't want to hear,
They won't make things go away,
I'm sorry doesn't change the past,
Or remove all
by Holly Trout
I'm sorry for all the ways
All the ways that I've hurt you
I'm sorry for all the things that I have done
I'm sorry for
by Cruelcode
Its the tears of my mother that keep me clean.
that keep me away from evil.
that keep me safe .
that keep me alive.
The fear
