Sorry

So sorry

You cannot say the words

But I feel the energy of sorry

In everything you say

This loneliness we live

Is it loneliness

Or aloneness

We know the difference

In a world far from perfect

Which lays its claims

We know the emptiness

Of those absences

That issue from thoughtlessness

Being thoughtful and alone

Its a knife

With a double blade

That cuts twice

But we bear the cuts

Choosing to give sorrow

A quiet resting place

It forms the subtext of all the things

Our hearts feel so deeply

But cannot say
