Apologies

Apologies


If I say I'm sorry
I will get my way
Your thinking to sway


Apology to look good
Narcissism under the hood
For me everyone will root


Apology to provoke guilt
Creates self-doubt to the hilt
Blame to you will shift


Apologies made from half truth
My own feelings to soothe
Everyone thinks I stand on truth


Apologies to put it in the past
Knowing fake peace won't last
Over you a shadow will cast


Apologies made but nothing changes
To break you down in stages
Slowly your mind deranges


Apologies not from the heart
When you never state your part
Will always tear us apart
