An apology rested there
Un-seasoned
Bare and simple
Just waiting
But no one picked it up
Un-handled
Un-wanted
Despite its silent pleas
No one cared
It was resting in plain sight
Forgotten
But within their vision
Such a simple solution
Long neglected
Long defective
Passing it's expiration date
On the loop around
Un-salted
Un-satiable
Decieving all that they cared
Though none pocketed the thing
An apology wasted
A long term band-aid
Left to rest beside an open wound
Just a minor cut
Left to fester
Left to tear
Becoming a hated thing
That burned with every touch
Still, a solution lay there
An apology resting.
A reminder of a sin
But not a solution for forgivness
In their eyes of course
Eyes long blurred
Long over due for prescription
Glasses
Tastelessly left out in the sun
Staring at storm clouds
Because they couldn't turn their heads
To stare at calmness
Focusing on calamity
But with no focus
Everything was calamity
But before
An apology sat there
Ready
Waiting
Un-neccesary
Un-advised
Even by the brightest
Such a simple solution
Such a quick way to fix it
But we left it like shards of glass
Right there
On the floor
Repeatedly stepped on
Repeatedly trampled
Condoned to the crunch under foot
Under toe
Wishing inside to fix it
Wishing inside there was a solution
Now overwhelmed with the pieces
Un-satisfied
Un-convinced
That there would ever be a way
There still is
But beneath the grains of sand
For thats what the glass became
Was hopelessness
They gave up
We gave up
The pieces are all there
There's just so many
It can always be fixed
But its difficult
And the apology waits
Still waiting
An apology always rests.
