How does one apologize?
Is it in a word, a tone,
or something more?
How do you feel it?
With mind, with soul.
That which cannot be expressed
fails to be understood,
maybe shouldn't be understood.
some transgressions cannot be repaid
even with infinite repentance.
All one can do is try.
I'm sorry.

I don't apologize. I find it to be an empty gesture. If you really are sorry then you would not have done it and even if it couldn't be helped you know that every single apology in history was and is destined to be tardy.

The poem flows well and asks a good question. In itself it is a tad trite as most works are that center around romance past or present but a good work overall.

Crying is a right! My tears mean as much as yours do... though I live a life without them.

I was hoping to express the emptiness in the phrase itself by explaining the impossibility of the idea behind it. And yes the end is a bit cliche, which I tried so very hard to avoid, but, I failed... miserably.
