Sorry

A simple word.
   Yet often misunderstood.
An easy word.
   Not always used when it should.
A meaningful word.
   It makes you think.
What brought it about.
   What event does it link.
A hopeful word.
   When it is believed.
A desperate word.
   When something lost needs to be retrieved.
A helpless word.
   When nothing else can be said.
An unforgiving word.
   When what you love is dead.
