The words won’t escape
Will never cross these lips
An apology you will never hear
Or see
For loving you
Anymore
I’m not sorry
Nor filled with regret
It is not my shame
It is not wrong
To deny
To apologize
To regret
Would be wrong
Is wrong
Shame
An explanation is not owed
To you, to them, to me
For loving
For being
For me
For you
I’ll not defend love
In defiance
In fear
In hope
To you, to them, to me
It is
I am
You are
