So Sorry

I turned and I gasped
I spluttered and spat
My eyes widened
My mouth dropped
You can tell I'm in shock
"What's this?" I say
Demanding of you
So sorry, I've been
So impolite

You shuffle your feet
Awkwardly slink low
You're staring at the ground
You almost wish you didn't know
I watch your expression
But I'm boiling inside
So sorry, I'm being
Quite impolite

You murmur and mumble
I can't hear a thing
I tell you just what
I think you should hear
There's a paper in my hand
Looks like a stress ball now
So sorry, I'm feeling
Rather put out

Tears roll down
Your scared, white cheeks
Your hair covers
The face that I can't see
My heart softens as I realise
It wasn't your fault
"So sorry", you tell me
"I was foolish from the start"
