Wronged

This one was inspired by a quote:

"The wrongdoer is more unfortunate than the man wronged."
~Democritus

Dawn. Reality rises... the hard hammer of obviousness suddenly strikes...

I was wrong. You didn't get to explain – you'd tried. Why didn't I listen?

You'd said 'I'm sorry' – it's what you thought I wanted you to say. You even
sounded sincere. It wasn't even your fault. I'm the sorry one...

I can't un-do what I did that made you cry. Will you forgive me when I can't
even forgive myself?

I caused the hurt and those sad silent tears. Will you still trust me to make
this right?

All I can do is ask and hope...

Forgive me?
