I'm sorry for your hurt, <br />I'm sorry for your grief. <br />I'm sorry that your pain, <br />Was no one else's belief. <br /> <br />I'm sorry I didn't help, <br />I'm sorry I didn't listen. <br />I'm sorry I didn't see your tears, <br />Whenever they did glisten. <br /> <br />I'm sorry I never hugged you tight, <br />I'm sorry I never held you close. <br />I'm sorry that to everyone else, <br />You were nothing but a faded ghost. <br /> <br />I'm sorry I couldn't heal your wounds, <br />I'm sorry I couldn't absorb your anguish. <br />I'm sorry I couldn't recognize your broken smile, <br />For all the times i misread your hidden language.<br /><br />Leah Wells<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-m-sorry-127/
