I knew nothing about your sorrow. I had paid no attention.
I haven’t been looking out.

There are things I have been unaware of
worlds that I had not been observing
and for this, please allow me to express my apologies.

I should have been there.
I could have been there
and I wasn’t
and I feel bad.
Help me drown my shame
by absolving some guilt,
if you would.
Swallow the imposition
and improve my mood.

There, that’s it.
Thanks.
I hope that improves your sorrow some.
I know it’s done a world of good
for me.
