I Am Sorry
I expected you to walk away,
You walked towards
The forgiveness visible in your eyes
Not knowing the extent of my error
I fell apart; you held me.
We departed, silence never ensuing
Hope was flickering, its sparks ablaze
Our futures were in the distance
Your life and mine, would not part
I saw a chance; you saw it too.
Old memories, spurred on by a last
Words forgotten, restored again
Acceptance was present, known by both
My hand held a spoon, you allowed the familiarity
I loved you still; you knew its truth.
Fireworks burst bright before us
A new beginning for young souls, made old
We saw it as a sign, and believed its divinity
Your lips pecked mine, reciprocation was pure
I lived our idealised end; you felt the promise.
A moment later, the air gained mass
Your expression changed, I knew the conclusion
The truth was disguised, its effects apparent
I reached to console you, your hand reached for the handle
I fell apart; you left me.
