i claimed remission

you ripped me apart so fiercely,
you shattered my heart and maimed my soul,
you brutally beat my love.

so why should i return?

why should i ever forgive you?

you've sliced me so deeply,
and stabbed so far in,
every time you apologize,
does it even make a difference?

who's blood are you trying to wipe away,
who is writhing on the floor at your feet,
the one you only want to cover up, and put away?

who are you doing this for?
you don't want to lose a friend, oh the pain it'll cause you,
but you don't want to keep me either, oh the pain i bring.

so who the hell do you think you are?
what penance can you offer, what words, notes, looks will
ever satisfy or heal the damage you have done?

how can your apologies ever go as deep as the pain you've brought upon?
how can they ever sustain the pressure you put on my shoulders?

what if i don't take you back?
what if i will not forgive?
what if i refuse, what if i give up,
what if i turn my back, just like you?

which one of us will suffer the loss here, then?
