Sorry

Sorry stopped meaning something the last ten times you said it 

“I’m Sorry”

You said, yet the meaning wasn’t there 

For sorry is just a word to fill a blank space in time 

“I’m sorry, I really am”

Yet somehow I know 

After I get better again you’ll go back to your ways 

 

Your words pierce me; a knife to my heart 

Leaving me empty, hollow 

A fragment of a past self 

Yearning to start again

    hoping to see you; a familiar face once again.

    There’s a dog that sits on the end of my street—

    he barks at anyone that nears,

    snarling teeth that glow shiny in the afternoon light.
