Poem #21

I wanted to wrap you
in rainbow-soft
words of contrition
but I can't

the words elude me
and the sentiment
is false

I wanted to cradle you
within an apology
but they were just words
just words
just words
and the bottom fell out
as it does,
as it always does
and suddenly
I can't say the sorry words,
can't feel sorry
