Apologies

Apologies never seemed so beautiful 

The intentions of a stranger 

Whose touch is so familiar 

Hollow eyes look toward the sky 

Hands on the railing 

Of a staircase winding down 

Leading to nowhere 

Who is to believe you this time 

It is not my place 

These hands are not my own 

Shout loud enough 

And maybe they will hear you this time 

Under the wing to the farthest star 

Covered in dust 

As shame does the same 

Over and under 

We play this game 

Around it goes 

Until no one is seen again-
