A Correct Apologization

The other day, someone lost possession of their charm;
and not only was an individual dissapointed,
this person was highly offended.

But, a "flogging" seemed too much to be considered,
and since creativity was not their forte',
an apology was both expected, and demanded.

So, the charmless individual...
..(the flogging candidate),
announced that they were "sorry".

Well, the offended party
now felt awkward for being present,
at an announcement of such magnitude.

Charmless, not being witless...picked up on this;
and wanting not, to further offend...
..tried again, by saying, "my bad".

To which, "highly offended" reared back,
and slapped "charmless" silly with both hands,
locked together, really hard...twice.

After they both regained their equillibriums;
for, "striker's" feat was not an easy task,
nor was the two-handed, dual slap easy to take;

"offended/striker" locked gazes with "charmless", and set his jaw.
"Charmless", tried to do the same as he,
but really, he was steadily making a case towards witlessness.

"Offended's" eyes, shown in them a certain hunger;
for his appetite had yet to be quenched,
and he still wanted his apology.

"Charmless/witless'es" eyes, shown a look from another time;
a simpler time, when words were few;
and when his gaze met "offended/striker's" glare, he said flatly, "I apologize."

And, not only was "offended/striker" satisfied with the apology,
"charmless/witless" felt better about himself;
and they both shook hands.

Which brings us to you, and me.
Believe me, I know better than to say, "I'm sorry"...or, "my bad".
So, I say to you now, "I sincerely apologize."

For, not only do I apologize for letting you down,
I apologize for letting myself down,
and for belittling the faith, that you had in me.

Not only that, but I promise from my heart, to offend you not, again.
For, belittling my integrity pales in comparison, to disregarding your feelings;
or the importance of your hearts well-being...and I beg your forgiveness.
