Sorry

so much more than just another word

Sorry

When my ghosts

and your guilt

get in the way ..

It seems the only

word left for me

to say, is sorry ..

And truly mean it

for the both of us ..

that's a wise protagonist you have there Nev! it takes two is the old adage that has been true throughout the ages .. but when the ghost carries no blame .. the best route is to understand how it may be for the "other" ... few words ... sound wisdom ... softly sorrowing ghosts :(

Sorry, such a strong word of apology. Not easy for some to say, but it is a powerful way, to start to put things right. Ghosts and guilt do not make good bed partners. A sincere apology can move mountains. In our current volatile world a few more apologies could go a long way. Good bit brevity Neville.

I was thinking if the word "sorry" was not there! Excellent poem 👍

Ghosts and guilt are a bad combination. Almost as bad as bourbon and brake fluid.
