speech therapy

SORRY     sorry     so sorry
it's my fault     blame me
should have thought of you
before doing it     before saying it
i messed up     i, i apologize
won't happen again: promise
(in front of the mirror, i'm practicing my lines,
practicing how to say i'm sorry;
for i've already worked on my abs,
on my drinking [wishing] problem)
SORRY     sorry     so sorry
darn it: it has to be believable;
must be uttered with more trepidation,
with less affirmation
you don't deserve this     don't deserve me
you can do better than yours truly
SORRY     sorry     so sorry
(next, as i shave, save face,
how to say i love you,
how to say i care)
