VIRAGO'S LAMENT

 By Jane Mabrysmith

What is so 
Unforgivable? 
What is that point? 
When an apology 
No longer cuts it. 
Is it the offense, 
Or the perspective 
Of the offended? 
They no longer care… 
Perhaps… ohh 

When sorry’s not 
good enough 
Sorry’s not 
Good enough 
There’s nothing to be done 

But you want 
To make it right. 
You wish for the real 
Conversation. 
You wonder 
What you have done; 
Or is it just them 
After all. Is there anything 
Left... 

When sorry’s not 
good enough 
Sorry’s not 
Good enough 
There’s nothing to be done 

Why are you 
So unwilling 
To state your case? 
What has pushed you past 
The edge of care? 
Can you name it?

Will you face it? 
Is it them, or is it you? 

But in the end, there’s nothing you can do... 

When sorry’s not 
good enough 
Sorry’s not 
Good enough 
There’s nothing to be done
