Sorry?

An answer to a questionable apology after being ignored

Sorry?

You come now with unusual words

A ”sorry”, thank you, that I heard!

But now as for the rest of week

Your silence just as well did speak

You fled into a sunny place

Sent pictures of the oceans grace

As all along I sat right here

Ignored, alone and left unseen

The weight of what we talked before

Seems to be carried by me alone

So after your nice time away

Don’t expect me too unfaced

I am not just a kitchen door

You open only when you choose

I am not just a wooden floor

You wipe the marks off, good as new

I am not just a ship in harbor

Never to leave until you come

I am a feeling human being

So finally try to treat me like one

About the Creator

竜鶴

Just a lonely person who writes out feelings, thoughts and dreams to get them out. Could talking ever suffice for a poetic mind?

Maybe others find themselves in similar thoughts. To you I reach out.
