Invisible Apology

Damaged with no closure

So, you want to apologize to me

This is...this is something I’ve been waiting for-for what seems like an eternity

Something that for so long I’ve only dreamt of

The apology that’s been well over due since I could think of

You want to apologize for taking a part of my childhood and turning it to ruins

For the physical pain you put me through and

The mental torment from the words that I thought were true

From you

Sayin that

I’m a waste

I don’t matter

And for me to get under the skin of a grown ass man at 12 years old..man that’s even sadder

You fucked my head up and I never looked back

The damage you did almost caused my heart-rate to go flat

Are you proud of that?

You almost sent me under, 6 feet before I even turned 13

But I’m sure you know that since you’re apologizing right?

Oh I get it..

You must have spent all this time trying to get your wording together

So that I could have this perfect apology forever

To treasure

Treasure the moment that YOU are on the verge of tears

Apologizing for all the years

The years I spent thinking that what you said to me, what you DID to me was justified

Because it was never was brought to light

And if I had my way you’d be trembling with guilt and regret, begging for forgiveness

Because that would be in your best interest

What an apology that would be

But it’s something that..I will never see
