Can't Make This Right

There was no way to misinterpret
You were a boorish bully
I saw it for myself

It was deliberate and cruel
Absolutely uncalled for
You didn’t back down

You could have but refused
They turned their backs in shame
There’s just no way to make this right

You had your chance
And blew it
