2:37 apology

I was up one night watching the clock and the idea started swirling around inside. It wasn't until about 4:30am that I actually got around to writing it.

2:37am cold and awake

sweating guilt

i had the dream again

could not sleep again

 

her disappointment

in me

beautiful eyes so sad

for what i didn't say

 

the places we'd been

mixed confusedly

back and forth

making no sense

 

she asked why

was i silent

knowing how she felt

then letting her go

 

i could not say

i cannot say

lying awake

ashamed and lost

 

too scared of no

to hope for yes

my biggest blunder

my largest loss

 

how can i

how do i

fix the pain i caused

so long ago

 

is there time

a second chance

to show her

to know her

 

deserving of more

that i know

deserving of more

than i showed

 

before it's too late

please hear me

please forgive me

i am so sorry

This is just great. It's raw and beautiful and wonderful. It flowed great and the best part for me was that nothing was capitalized. It was just something that added to it...

If this was written from a life experience, I hope you got the opportunity to set things straight. For you...and her.

This is beautiful, and full of emotion. it shows how much care there was in this relationship, and how much thought put into the decisions. Wonderful job!!

who says you need a degree or a course to be a poet? and rules, those are just crutches to help us along until we can fly on our own

looking forward to reading more of you
