Am Sorry Poem by Rabo Sanusi

As I lay watching the dark clouds
Wondering where to put my head
Yet, can’t seem to rest my eyes
But aloud she sleeps
Without a thought of how I fare
I don’t deserve such punishment
Especially from one dear to my heart
Although, I hate to say this
But for your smile it is worth the strain
If apologize I may
Then, am sorry I’ll gladly say
For my intentions remain pure
My mistake was only a joke
Which you took to heart
Since angry you are
Reward me with a blade
And cut off my tongue
For if it can’t make you smile
Then, useless are they to me
This gift of darkness you’ve sent me
The words I can’t summon to explain
But tormenting it remains
As I kneel for your mercy
Am sorry I’ll continue to say
For your touch of healing
Is all my lonely soul wants
I crave for your sympathy
As I kneel in confession
With one melody on my lips
AM SORRY…
