just by saying sorry

just by saying sorry...
sorry can not make
any differences
to the
perfectly healed wound

like a doctor
who happened to
misdiagnosed a patient
he thought that
the patient
having appendicitis

doing an open surgery
doing an appendectomy
little that he knew
the patient only
experienced stomach-ache

he already left
a scar to the patient
he already make
the patient suffer...
to recover from
the wound that he did

do you think
for the patient...
just by saying sorry
can remove the scar?
just by saying sorry
can make her
feel better?

when you know
you can do nothing
about the scar
you should just
let the scar
heal by itself

sorry can only
be accepted
only once...
not twice
not thrice

that's why
before we left
a scar
to other people
make sure we know
what we are doing

because the scar
will never be removed
nor the pain
will never be forgotten
