You hurt me 
You bruised me 
You belittled me 
You tossed me aside
You forgot about our anniversary 
Not once but twice 
You forgot my birthday 
Not once not twice 
But four times
You disregarded our plans 
And hung out with your boys 
You let Shayla hang all over you
Despite us being together 
All your late nights at work 
All your tired excuses 
All your fake outs 
And make outs 
Each and every time
Each and every mistake 
Each and every regret
Is followed by a thousand sorrys 
One after the other 
1 sorry 
2 sorrys 
3 and them 
4
Until It reaches an amount I can’t even count
And despite the pain caused
Despite the evident damage 
I forgive you and say
It’s ok
It’s fine
Just don’t do it again
How stupid I was
Such an idiot move
I shouldn’t have forgave you
I shouldn’t have moved on
Especially after your sorrys 
When I could see the look in your eyes 
Sorry was just a word for you
 A word you could throw around when you knew you messed up
A word you knew would make it okay
That sadly is my fault 
I looked past the fact of your repetitive abuse 
I looked past your sorrys
And I moved on 
Sadly I didn’t remember the true reason of sorry 
A promise 
From you
To never do it again
And that right there should have been a red flag in my face 
Because you always did it again
If I had looked at the clues 
If I had paid more attention 
I would have realized you were lying straight to my face 
And using the word sorry 
As your easy cover up
