Amends
By Roxxi
As an addict
I have lost the right
To say "I'm sorry"
Verbal apologies mean nothing
Only changed behavior does
Apologizing with expectations
Leads to bitter resentments
Just because I ask for forgiveness
Doesn't mean I deserve it
Keep my side of the street clean
And follow through with amends
As an addict
I only have the right
To say "how can I make it up to you"

...Apologies are just a casual hello, they hold no meaning in their hollow utterance, But yet somehow I believe if I saw into your eyes and you whispered those words, there would be no lies... Never stop fighting your demons or they will win. In you I see a desire to never again, give in... Great write, a painfully true statement.

Only those that know that they have messed up due to their past demons deserve forgiveness. Sadly, not many people will forgive or some will but won't forget. It's a battle on many ends. Hopefully those souls do fully forgive soon. Great write.
