Apologies
Each time you scream in anger,
And send me hurling to the floor,
I tell myself I’m leaving,
And this won’t happen anymore.
Resolve fades with the daylight,
And the brightly streaming sun,
Then you kiss me gently,
And I know that you have won.
What makes me stay beside you?
You, the cause of so much pain?
Mea culpa, mea culpa,
Is your insincere refrain!
One day, you’ll find me gone,
For this is not a decent life,
Filled with worthless apology,
And never ending strife.
