You keep searching for an apology from someone who already decided they did nothing wrong. Because admitting they hurt you would destroy the image they've built of themselves. So instead, they protect their ego and let you carry the pain. You explain your heart. You try to make them understand But somehow. you become the problem, and they become the victim. That's the cruel trick of people like this. Your tears will never move someone who benefits from your silence. And your pain will never teach empathy to someone who survives by denying it. Some people would rather lose you forever than face the truth about themselves.
