Diggin' A Hole.

Inevitably there comes a time in your life when you may do something to someone that you're not proud of, and that someone may never really forgive you for. Memories are a long thing, with most people, no matter how forgiving they try to be.

That's called "Taking it to the grave." You search and search your mind to figure out a way to make things right. You wish you could turn back the hands of time, but you can't. It's not possible. And if you are forgiven, that person mostly likely won't look at you in the same light anymore. You've tainted yourself to them. So maybe you'll take the time to tell that person one last time those three words: "I am sorry."

However, if you let it lie too long, you dig your own grave as well as taking it with you, because of your inaction. And, if you've said the words too many times they lose all meaning, becoming empty phrases you say routinely to avoid actually owning up to your actions. If you expect them to forgive you for doing the same action over and over again, and you never manage to change your ways, you'll find yourself licking your own wounds in the corner somewhere, alone, and you shouldn't be surprised that you are.
