Sorry “sorry”

Careless apologies by careless lovers

Your copy-paste apology
wasn’t worthy
of a response,
much less forgiveness.

Instead it hung there,
carelessly abandoned,
much like the way
you left me.

Impersonal to the point
of insulting.
Far too little,
months too late.

But even the apology realized:
you didn’t forget
to give it meaning.
You simply weren’t capable.
