Glued Apologies.

A card.
A simple white card
To cheer me up
And smile my heart.
Bur from the start
I was destined to destroy
This moment.
It always happens like this.
Your wooing smiles are cut short
By one
Negligent word,
Or action
Or Re-action
Breaking your smiles into
Shortness, and hurting the attraction.
The coldness returns.
Spurned by my mis-intended
Fruits.
Apologies stay glued to my lips.

  2. The enemy within, that everyone has to some degree. But awareness also comes in degrees. A poem like this brings the painful moment into focus.

  5. It's so difficult sometimes when we hurt the very ones we don't want to.
