Virago’s Lament

What is so
Unforgivable?
What is that point?
When an apology
No longer cuts it.
Is it the offense,
Or the perspective
Of the offended?
They no longer care…
Perhaps… ohh

When sorry’s not
good enough
Sorry’s not
Good enough
There’s nothing to be done

But you want
To make it right.
You wish for the real
Conversation.
You wonder
What you have done;
Or is it just them
After all. Is there anything
Left...

When sorry’s not
good enough
Sorry’s not
Good enough
There’s nothing to be done

Why are you
So unwilling
To state your case?
What has pushed you past
The edge of care?
Can you name it?
Will you face it?
Is it them, or is it you?
But in the end, there’s nothing you can do…

When sorry’s not
good enough
Sorry’s not
Good enough
There’s nothing to be done
