How do I say I’m sorry?
How do I undo what I have done?
I never meant to hurt a friend.
I only wish I could undo what has been done!
Never did I think I could be so thoughtless,
To snap at one that’s never harmed anyone.
When my days were dark you made me smile.
And how did I repay you?
With anger and thoughtlessness!
The last thing I meant was to hurt you.
I should never have opened my mouth.
All that I managed was to cause pain,
To one that deserved none!
My apology I made,
But sometimes an apology isn’t enough.
But is there ever anything that can undo,
That which has caused one pain?
One day I hope you find it in your heart
To forgive me for my thoughtlessness!
You know me, or I hope you do.
And know that is not my way.
I protect my friends not attack them.
But I let anger blind me this time.
And struck out without seeing,
Struck out without thought,
And struck a friend with thoughtless words.
As this was publicly done,
Then so shall this apology be publicly made.
I will not name names to spare further pain
But freely admit how wrong I was
Never should one attack another in anger and rage
And never should one attack a friend in any way
Both these I did
Both these I abhor
Please forgive me if you can
Your friendship means the world to me
Never did I wish to do anything
To harm you in any way
And in my rage I have done just that
I have only these words
To express just how sorry I am
I was an idiot and a fool
I am Sorry from the bottom of my heart.
