Sorry

People commit wrongdoings without thinking, on instinct

Easily they go through with it, brushing away the consequences that follow

So often this happens, the meaning behind sorry has become extinct

What once closed our tares now only continues our sorrow

At one time your sorry meant something to me, it was my support

Made me feel like you cared, maybe you truly did at one time

Now I've realized that it never meant a thing, it was your last resort

And you never really cared about my feelings, just as long as you were fine

There are people who mean well when they say they are sorry

After being told so much it doesn't matter anymore, it's a waste of breath

I once accepted apologies without doubts, now I accept them with more chary

For the pit of lies drags me down, six feet under where I meet my death

Sorry is a word that is used by many, and meant by few

Sadly I have to say that yours were never true
