An apology, had need
Though no more, than a dime now
For yesterday, an ear would hear
But today that ear, hears none
Physically, my hand was not raised
Though verbally, my sword poised
To pierce the heart of an innocent
Who saw not of an enemy, but a friend;

A bully, they thought not
Laughter they refused to resist
For better, they were never
Accomplices, they were all;
Loyalty's demise had come
Their outbursts pained him
For his heart was no stone
Though it was I, who birthed the joke
Forcing his hand to take his own
But leaving me with my earnings;
His betrayed soul...
