Apology in the Dark

You never wanted to hear me out,

neither in the beginning nor in the end.

But I stood at your door,

and so you stood your ground.

"You never loved me," you mouthed with a stupid face.

I apologized to you as many times

as there are stars in the sky,

but the dark clouds obscured your view,

so my love remained hidden in plain sight

even when I was gone you held your flag above our grave
