We have all wanted to hear the words “I’m sorry” or “I didn’t mean to hurt you” from those who hurt us. Especially when that person is someone we cared deeply for; perhaps still do.
Whichever side of the coin you’re on, you presume said apology or admission was made out of sincerity.
But what if it wasn’t.
Some use apologies and admissions as a means to their own end.
In my recent experience, this one was intended to pull heart strings. This person now feels unbridled, unburdened, their guilt released.
For me, the picture that was painted with this recent event is very vivid. I have learned not to react; providing attention, either positive or negative, is exactly what this admission was all about. Another tactic, another opportunity to see if their wishes/desires could be fulfilled.
A Phone Call
A minuscule lion
Missing his mane
Charges the door
Oblivious to shame
A righteous authority
Prevailing in vain
Pleading brown eyes
Provoke emotional strain
Assume an opportunity
Dominate former reigns
Seeking reciprocate love
Although forced, feign
Recoil to grasslands
Prowling newly slain
