Sorry
A word used over a thousand times
For the shaken ones
Who were used as pawns in a dangerous game
Ties cut short
For we have been mistaken
Our shattered hearts now surrounded by a fort
In reality your halfhearted apology
Is nothing but a meaningless plea
I’m sorry—
You think I’m bluffing
I’m sorry—
I didn’t mean it
Strike again
Our friendship never mends
I’m sorry, please forgive me
You say once more
But I walk away
And I don’t regret not looking back
Even till this very day
The day you knew I would forever be away
The day you knew my dignity would stay
I’m sorry please forgive me—
Why did you leave me?
Me—
The one who was there
You
Were
Never
There

This poem was inspired by reading about slam poetry on a blog, so I decided I would write a personal experience based off of that genre. I hope that the reader will understand when saying sorry, mean it. If people continuously say sorry, then the word loses the meaning. Words can have a great impact, depending on how you use them.
