no apology forthcoming

for some it's hard to apologize.

never thinking

they've done

anything wrong, no harm,

no foul.

guilty of nothing.

and when they see you crying,

bent and broken,

because of their

behavior, they look at you

and stare, they ask you why,

and say,

i'm not responsible for how you

feel. don't take it personally,

these betrayals, these lies.
