I am Sorry
I am sorry
I mistook your passion
For love
I witnessed
My own humiliation
I am sorry
I trusted you
With all my being
I am sorry
Let us put our feelings to rest
Too tired to respond
Too wounded to belong
Alone
I stand
In the desert of life
Looking at the intimidating grey sand
I think of the colour within
And find a fistful powder of sin
Of a life not lived to the brim
Sand again?
No. Ashes
Grey and hot -
Frightful and soft
Brought out
But one tear
From my eye
The other was
Already pierced
Drilled to blindness
By the splinter of ice
In your eyes
When I had thought
Nothing and no one
Could come in between
Our preordained love
You drew a line
Which I never thought would be drawn
And the magic of togetherness
Was gone, gone, gone.
