It's Not Time to Return

I'm not a mack or a jedi

You keep asking me

When will I return...

But all I want to know first...

Is...

Do you even know

Why I left in the first place?

Because right now

Your apology seems superficial.

It's the same one I've heard before

Countless times before

The same apology

That was once enough for me

To return to your arms

But never enough for you

To actually make amends

Now that I think of it..

Those numerous apologies only made me feel

Like I was constantly punished

For your mistakes.

This time...

To face all that anymore...

To take the fall...

This time...

Your words aren't enough anymore...

SHOW ME

YOUR WORTH

Because you've made me

Forget mine.

To the point of

Possibly...

No return.
