How much is an apology really worth?

Nickels, dimes, quarters, dollar bills? Is there really a price to pay for the words 'I'm sorry'? Picking apart constellations and seeing your faces in every one. The night sky hasn't been to forgiving. Managed to take more than a few wrong turns along the way to self discovery, or well self realization. I know i've managed to let you down on numerous occasions but please don't count me out just yet. My judgement has been impaired and mistaken. It may seem almost comical but I only want to make you all proud. Sticks and stones may break bones but your looks alone are enough to set the pit of my stomach on fire. My veins are grasping for your approval. Sideways glances and backhanded compliments are going out of style faster than you can say damage control. We wrote the book on finding lucky pennies in midst of a crisis, is there any ounce luck left to spare? I'm trying to find my lost soul in a series of unfortunate events. Yes my dear loved ones the stars are making a mockery of me but the sun has to rise as does forgiveness. That is if you remember who we are talking about here.
