Saying sorry once
Wouldn't help;
Wouldn't make things better.
If I could
Write "sorry"
A million times
It wouldn't change anything
Except on wasted paper.
May I flush
My sorrows down the drain?
Act like
Nothing was said?
This may add
Another scar
To my sorrowful heart.
I could cry
A million more times
And act like everything is alright.
What I said was wrong;
I was out of line.
I didn't realize what
I had said
Until it was too late.
Sorry is never enough
And it never should be.
This may seem like
A tiny mistake,
But deep down it hurts
To remember what I said.
Six little words
Make a big difference.
This is the time
I jump off a cliff
And drown myself
To show my shames.
I would take it back
All of it
If I could go back in time.
I hear what I hear
And I see what I see
But not all I say
Is what it comes out to be.
And while all of this
Is happening,
I want to watch my words
Except the ones
Known to be true
All of I love you.
Must I try and say,
Once more,
I'm sorry
A million times
In words and on paper
For I don't know
What more to say
To be forgiven.
