Poem - Apologize

Apologize

I came to the realization

That an apology will never come

Your pride will not allow you to be wrong

I had your back

I picked you up when you fell

Dusted you off and pushed you in the right direction of greatness

Tied your bootstraps when you stumbled

Brought you to the top of your game

And what did I get??

Ridicule

Disgust

My will broken, faith diminished

Dreams deferred

Love denied and held for ransom

Mentally beaten, emotionally devastated

I’ve done so much for you

During the years together and apart

It took an act of the Almighty and several issues

To realize that it was all a lie

To admit that it was all wrong

And walk away from you

I had to realize

That you were a disease

That I needed to be cured from

To get rid of you would be my salvation

For all of the things wrong with our unholy union

I know you will never apologize to me

After all, you are always right

It’s not in you to admit

Too late

The bridges have been burned

Olive branches used as kindling

Just walk away and never look back

Real men apologize, but we know that you aren’t one of them.
