Scorpio

The apology that was never offered sits in a room inside you that nobody else has the key to. You have turned it over so many times that you know its exact weight, the way it catches light, how it sounds when you set it down on different surfaces in your mind. Some people mistake this careful attention for holding a grudge, but they have it backwards. This is how you keep something important from becoming something that eats everything else. The room stays locked not because you are afraid of what would happen if you opened it, but because some things work better as yours alone.
