Apology
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu
I hurt my only friend
When I said the wrong thing
I took for granted that
She could endure all things
Selfish and prideful was I
Arrogant as can be
I simply can't deny
I am a total mess, you see
I learnt a great lesson
Crying myself to bed
I should have been more vigilant
And control myself instead
The one closest to me
Needs to be handled with care
To be as delicate as can be
With the one that I care
I do not know
If a simple apology would suffice
But I hope she can let go
Of my foolish actions of pride
I have a long way to go
And I dread it's very length
As she had pointed out rightly so
My heart completely sank
I knew I had a lot to change
And I'm not heading anywhere
I'm running out of strength
And it's hard to climb the stairs
I don't know what to do
And how to go on from here
All I can do is to
Trust You, my Lord, to steer
