Sorry Poem by Mark Heathcote

Sorry

Rating: 3.5


It was my mistake, you've-heard-the-story
how many promises end with "I'm sorry."

It won't happen again; it was my fault
and then often ends in Common assault,

"I'm sorry." I gambled away our money
"I'm sorry." I'll pay back every penny.

I know she was persona non grata
but she was like Nabokov's Lolita,

And my hormones got the better of me
"I'm sorry." I do love you, my "sweet pea."

"I'm sorry.' So I messed-up-our finances
I'll pay back those loans, "yes, and no more chances."

"I'm sorry." I broke your heart, love, trust me
"I'm sorry." I acted cruel and was beastly,

"I'm sorry." "I'm sorry, " I swear, I'll change
I've-learnt-my-lesson, please, please, don't act strange.

I know I've been foolish, but that's the past
anyways you're the reason I get slashed.
