When you walked out
You made a choice – and it hurt,
But say no sorry.

An apology
Is not a peace offering,
Nor a free guilt pass.

An apology
Is sans boundaries – or else,
It ceases to exist.

What they did though, it
Hurt even more – and no, I
Can’t make them confess.

I will not demand
An apology from them,
For your peace of mind.

An apology
Is not a cure for deep pain,
It’s a salve, if that.

An apology
Cannot be forced – it must flow,
From a place of love.
