A Hollow Sorry

Have you ever felt the need to say sorry?
A word that signifies many things

But have you ever experienced a moment
Where you want to use that word
But it means nothing?

It sounds empty hollow and untrue
It can't even begin to express the feelings
That are welling within you...

But you say it
You want them to understand
The words that sound so hollow
Yet are supposed to mean so much
The words i'm sorry.
