f______ & forget

you served apologies on a silver platter

but some refuse to taste your sorry's.

your words are on the table, though

and anyone who didn't eat forgiveness

missed dinner.

leftover apologies still remain,

but hurry, dear, they're growing cold.

dinner is over

and the apologies have been traded 

for the dessert they promise once you swallow your meal.

you can't enjoy dessert, darling,

until you eat your dinner.

and if you never do,

then no dessert for you.
