The Apology

Can I have a moment, there's something I'd like to say,
this is my atonement, I know I screwed up along the way,
and for that I am sorry, yet words cannot express,
they can't say how sorry I am for this mess,
if I could take it back, you know that I would,
but saying "if I could" will do no good,
so I'll just say I'm sorry, as I've said before,
I'll say it again, until my lips grow sore,
I know that I can't change the way that I have screwed up,
I know that I can't pick up the pieces of my cup,
my mistakes have been made, there's nothing I can do,
I can't correct what has been done it's true,
but if I could go back, I'd never let you fall,
but it is hard to catch someone when you can't stand at all,
I have some things that I sure would like to say,
but the words can't seem to find their way,
if only you could read my mind, and know just how I feel,
then I think that you would see that this is real,
this isn't just some hollow apology, these aren't just words,
tears stream down my face, they're streaming down in herds,
and I can't hide my sorrow, I can't hide this pain,
and all of this is because of my human brain,
yet again I'll say it, that I am sorry, sorry for all my wrongs,
but on that day I lost my heart, but it's where it belongs,
and still all of this means nothing, I doubt it ever will,
and in the end I will be sorry still...
