Apology

"Life becomes easier when you learn to accept the apology you never got." Robert Brault 



I accept, 
what I said was too harsh, 
and, 
that I responded, 
according to my heart, 
and not, 
with logic.

I will no longer, 
say those things, 
I will, 
remain quiet, 
distant from you, 
but no longer angry, 
or wanting you, 
to hear me. 

Just at peace, 
no longer, 
willing to drink, 
the poison cup, 
finally at peace. 

I don't expect, 
or want to hear, 
you, 
say that you agree, 
or even that you, 
understand, 
my point, 
so we should let it be, 
letting time, 
and, 
space, 
fill in the blanks, 
of those lines, 
that will never, 
fill that empty page. 

I only want you to know, 
I am sorry, 
I was wrong, 
and now, 
I am free again. 

I have poured the poison, 
from the cup.
