Sorry, Kid

Yeah, sorry about that eye; 
     the one that’s swelling shut. 
And all that blood 
     flowing from your broken nose 
     and creeping across 
     the hallway floor. 
 
Sorry about that cut on  
     your bruised cheek; 
the one that will need 
     stitches to shut and 
     where the scar will remind 
     you about my apology 
 
years from now.
