How do you say sorrry at the end of the day, even though you know that its not enough. You've had plenty of chances already to say sorry. You even know that saying it wont change a thing, how do you make it meaningful...
 
 Sorry for all the things I've said
 Sorry for all the things I should have said but ended up saying something else
 Sorry for all the unfinished conversations, the emotions running free in the wind
 Sorry for all those times when I should have said it but didn't
 Sorry for all the chances that i missed
 Sorry.
 
You can say sorry all day and the word and its meaning only gets disfigured until you are left wondering what does Sorry actually mean?. What does Sorry actually do?. Is it supposed to make up for all the loose ends that you have left untied? Is it supposed to make you feel better, healed after all the insults and word-abuse you have endured? Is it supposed to bring two completely different people back together? In a sense yes, in a sense no. Sorry is what you make it.
 
Sorry, isn't going to work this time. Sorry isn't going to solve all problems when your lost and your best friend is dead. Sorry isn't going to make up for all the hurt you caused. Not this time.
 

 Sorry

I like your sincere and heart-fealt apology. And yet, as a good friend reminds me: "Saying, 'Sorry' just isn't good enough . . .Not doing that again MIGHT be good enough, but that little word is not."

But here, now, your feelings of sorrow and remorse transcend your words. I hope that will be enough. It may have to be.

Your unique mixture of poetry and prose styles is excellent. Well done.
