Sorry

I said hi today

And gently walked away

I didn’t turn around

To hear your answer

Because I knew it would be crude

But when I heard it

My pulse quickened and I turned to you

You bit your lip and looked down

Your mother looked at me

With a pure hatred in her eyes

Because the words spoken

Were the ones I was longing to hear

I’m sorry that I hurt you

And that I’m the reason you can’t heal

K.K.
