I Can'T Answer That Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Is a return to appreciate someone,
Just too late?
When one discovers,
A position taken of a situation faked...
Had been by another instigated to irritate.
Is it too late when one waits too long,
To express to another an appreciation?
And that time has gone?

What if an attempt was made,
To right a wrong that had been done.
And someone had been accused and blamed,
To discredit and defame.
Should a forgiveness be given?
When an admission of guilt has been finally admitted.
Or should a door that had been open be permanently locked.
Since all feelings of the situation has in the mind been stopped.

'Is that a question asked and said off the top of your head?
Or is this a feeling expressed from your heart instead? '

I can't answer that.
I wont allow my emotions to be played or reminisced.

'So...
You speak of this hypothetically? '

Are you going to answer the question?

'What are your expectations? '

I don't have them anymore.
