As I send forth these thoughts
I shiver
Knowing full well I will fail
to deliver the truth of that
which in my mind is the only
truth worth remembering.
I hoped to convey to you
the difficulties I find
standing alone
of walking away from
the hand that fed me
of the love that shed me
the tears that never
rolled down my clean shaven
cheeks, and a friendship
gone awry.
But I fail in that
as in many other
endeavours undertaken
thoughts mistaken
for truth, ideas
fulfilling promises
from youth.
Shivering I fall to my knees
begging your forgiveness
please.
