The pain of a late apology.

 The pain of a late apology.

When regret settles in.

A realisation is made.

A past that can never be rewritten

And a pain that would never fade.

To say "I'm sorry"

would be too few words.

To say "I sincerely apologise"

would be not enough.

I want to say "I'm sorry" ...

... to apologise for the pain.

To apologise for your struggle.

To apologise for the heartarche.

To aplogise for the heartbreak.

You loved me. You truly do.

And I took me away from you.

For that I am sorry. 

I know it's part of life:

to gain love and lose love.

And I know an apology is not enough. 

Nor will it change anything.

It will not bring back what you've lost.

It may not heal any wounds.

It may not bring revelation or closure.

It is, but, a weight that was on my heart.

For eternities I would apologise for the pain I have brought you.

Isla Skylark.
