Apologies

I'm sorry.

The words on my tongue can't change what they've done

They bruised and battered not only my conscience

They've stabbed me in the back, they fell out misplaced

There are so many things I wish I could erase

Apologizes can't stitch up the hearts

I foolishly, cruelly ripped apart

Apologizes can't backspace the text I sent

I wish I could backspace all my regret

The pain in my heart can't restart  

When I realize what I've done

I can't take out the parts

When I realize what I've done

I can't pull out the sword I stabbed into their backs

I can't just walk up to them and say "Sorry, I didn't mean that"

Because no matter how many words I say 

The words I said before will always stay.

"Because no matter how many words I say 
The words I said before will always stay"

Perfectly said. Love this poem though the emotion is painful.

Thanks for reviewing!

amazing, and ture
we cant take back what we say so we have to think twice before saying anything
amazing. thank you for sharing

[Akashi]

Thank you for reading! When I was writing this I said something that hurt someone and I never got to apologize.

[Cara]

i think that it may help if you show this poem to that someone
true we cant take back what we said but sometime we can do something that will make them forget, that will make them feel that they are really special to us, and someone told me once that people never forget the way you made them feel

[Akashi]

Yeah, but I lost connection with them and I don't know how to message them any more....

[Cara]

you'll find away ;)

[Akashi]

Maybe....? :)

Oh man, this is the sort of poem I love. Great imagery and rhythm. I love the rhyme scheme- an enjoyable read. You can really sense the pain conveyed in the poem. *Claps in awe*

[Akashi]

Aw! I'm glad you liked it :)

[Chidoriflower]

Guilt hurts and apologies are never really good enough, is what I got from this. But ppl will forgive you if they love you, I think. The wording and rhyming is nice, and I like the colors. RADICAL BRO SO RAD. I love it. HAHAHAHA

[Chidoriflower]

I went a little crazy lol

[Arooj Purra]

[Arooj Purra]

you welcome

Not too sure I understand the coloured words, some are repeats, some rhyme, is this a sonnet form ?
Anyway, a thought provoker !

[Akashi]

Thank you. Originally this was supposed to be a song :)

[Luuucy]

So many times that I have wished that I could go back, or that I could just fix everything with words. This poem can resonate with everyone in some way.
just curious about your reasoning behind the changes in color? it seems important

[Akashi]

I'm glad you asked. Originally this was a song and the different colored parts were different people singing. The green colored lines were supposed to be them singing all at once.

[Luuucy]

Oh ok, that is interesting! I'd love to see how that song goes

[Akashi]

*sighs* I honestly don't know why I created a song when I'm not a good singer, so I just decided to turn it into a poem.

[Luuucy]

I do the same thing, I make up songs all the time but don't plan on ever singing them

[Akashi]

Yeah.......

I know that whatever said has an effect already. But as humans, we sometimes commit mistakes unintentionally...then hurt the people arouns us including those who really care.
Saying sorry, if it comes from the heart will still heal the wound at the right time.
Nice format and rhythm. Well-written.

Thank you for reading :)
