Apology Poem by SarahLaney Long

Did I say some thing a little close to home
Did I make your father curse and disown
Did I look you in the eyes and lie
But see me here, I'm still right next to you

Will you, will you just run and leave me be
Will you, will you stay here and torture my soul
Will you, will you avenge your pride
Or can you try, try to forget how I can be?

Live, Live until night blends with day
Die, Die when you can say hey
Didn't we meet long ago some place
So I can forget and just say I'm sorry

I can't try to apologize for what I did
But I can keep walking down my own path
If it helps to see me torn up inside,
I'm sure I can stand to hear your wrath

Should I just pretend I didn't see
Should I believe it's just a fantasy
Should I make the world stop for you
But that's just a one-time trick for now

Live, Live until night blends with day
Die, Die when you can say hey
Didn't we meet long ago some place
So I can forget and say I'm sorry
So I can forget and just say I'm sorry

*Sometimes the hardest thing to do, is finds the words for an apology.
