Don’t make me apologise
For something I did not cause
For something that is not my fault
For a situation I did not create
Don’t make me wonder
About the things that went wrong
About someone I no longer know
About something I’m lost between
Don’t make me speak
When I don’t want to talk
When I need to be quiet
When I have to understand the silence
Because when you make me apologise
It will be for something you caused
And if I were to apologise, I would on my own
With no persuasion form anyone but me
When you make me wonder
I will be breaking myself even more
Because the memories will come back to haunt me
And I will never know peace
When you make me speak
Words filled with spite and anger may be heard
Emotions will be let loose
And those I cherish, will be hurt
You did this to me
The things I did, the thoughts I thought, the words I said
Everything was because of you
Because you broke this already bruised heart
So I won’t speak, not with you
I want to make no conversation with you
Because I choose to do so
Because this was your doing
And I will not wonder, not about you
I will not let my thoughts stray to you
Because I choose not to
Because this is what you did
And I will not apologise, not to you
I make no apologies
For the way I choose
To mend what you broke
So don’t try to make me.
