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
