POEM STARTER
Write a poem about an apology.
What is the apology for? How is it received?
Every Word
We used to be happy
Now we’re are no longer an “us”
“I’m sorry” doesn’t cover it
But I won’t make a fuss
You sat and confessed
While love and hate blurred
You thought I didn’t hear you
But I heard every word
Waves crash and retreat
Sand forgives and forgets
And it happens once more
Still you have no regret
You apologized again
That last brain cell stirred
I knew you didn’t mean it
But I heard every word
I used to know you
Then you looked me in the eyes
I didn’t know who I saw
Now I see it shouldn’t be a surprise
I asked you to go
You told me I’m being absurd
I apologized
And I know you heard every word
