Distant Apologies

I’m truly sorry

If I threw

our precious friendship

down the dirty drain.

I’m truly sorry

you believed

I slammed the doors

in your face.

There were things

you did that

made me bleed inexorably,

and I couldn’t

vocalize the excruciating pain

to you.

Yes,

I did things

in return,

because I was

severed, kicked and punched

in the face and gut

with your words and actions.

My strength

was stolen.

I got it back

and I’m grateful for that.

My peace

was snatched from me.

I’ve reclaimed it

and nobody

will take it from me,

ever!

You deserve

the benefit of the doubt.

You’ve earned back

my respect, dignity and kindness.

That’s why

I want to give you

a distant apology.
