Work of Art

I’m sorry, I’m sorry.

 

But it’s just a word,

No meaning, no joy before it.

Certainly not after it.

 

I’m sorry, I’m sorry.

 

It doesn’t cover up,

The slap on the face,

Filthy words,

It leaves a hold and a massive trace behind.

 

Forgiveness so powerful,

So courageous.

 

I’m sorry, I’m sorry.

I forgive you.
