I asked them,
“For what sins must I atone?”
In unison they shook their heads
As though I should have known.
“I don’t know what I did,” I say
“Nor the words
That pushed you all away.
And if you do not tell me,
I cannot apologise;
Fix the cracks between us,
Find a way to make things right.”
“But apologise you must!” they cried.
“For what?” I asked once more.
Yet still they would not tell me
What I needed forgiveness for.
One final time I pleaded,
“Tell me, what was my sin?
Or no apology I offer
Could be truly genuine.”
Resolute, they held their silence;
No answer to my pleas.
“So be it,” I calmly stated,
And took my leave.

I think it’s something many of us have experienced. People suck.
