the apology

none needed

she said she was sorry

he said ok

they tried to make it work

he said it would be just the same

it never was

it never will be

the sorry left half dead up in the air

it never really reached him

because he didnt care

they went about their business

they tried to make a life

the sorry it just stayed there

half way in that night

that night that she said sorry

that night so long ago

it just stayed in limbo

on shoulders uncaring so

the bittersweet sorry

the half empty reply of his ok

it should of made her realise 

then and there

that he would never care

now shes wasted years and years

on a man that never really

wanted her to care

This is sadly very truthful of us imperfect humans. Too bad too.

Words can have little meaning when spoken by a person who don't need love. The poem had a honest tone leading to a very sad ending. Thank you Julie for sharing the amazing poetry.

It is a shame that sometimes "being sorry" isn't enough. But at least it is a start, but as you beautifully point out, sometimes it just isn't enough.
