Sometimes our apologies
Are just a little late
And other times
They simply fall on deaf ears
I'm sorry for my ignorance
My inexperienced youth
The hurt that made me blind
And the anger controlling my life
I'm sorry I didn't listen
Didn't visit you in months
Ignored your pleas to me
Every single call
I'm sorry I didn't love you
The way I really should have
Given you half the love
That you had given to me
I was broken
But you were shattered
Our jagged pieces
Mingled together
I swept yours away
Trying to find my own
Worked to fix myself
And forgot to fix you
They told me you were a goner
You weren't yourself
Said I should move on
So I did
I glued those pieces together
But was never whole
Guess I didn't know
That we had shared a piece
Now I have this apology
That has become useless
Because it has fallen
On dead ears.
