I do not want an apology, i said
I won't beg for the favour to apologize, you
said
i wanted to brow beat you into shameful silence
i wanted to see you run from the room, tears
streaming
i wanted to tell you next time
i would present you
with the dagger myself
fist wrapped around the blade
i wanted to hurt you so bad
all i managed was to express calmly and gravely my
indignation
you walk away perhaps a little humiliated
