Apathetic Apologies

With my hand grasping your shoulders,
Shaking! Shaking!
Will you listen to my lies?
Thoughts of my paranoia beginning
to sink in.
You said, “Once was okay, twice was a
warning, this is strike three and I’m
never taking you back again!”
From the look in my eyes can’t you
tell how much I care?
That empty look I gave you
Showed you my indifference. And the
Tears that you shed
Were the coals that kept my fiery heart
Burning. So don’t stop crying.
Don’t stop crying now, I depend on the
Tears that spill from your eyes to
Keep living.
