Photo Apology

A Poem by Eagergreen

I won't accept and apology if you don't comment

On October 3rd 1989
I sat in the yard
at a dinner party
watching the kids
I always wanted some

On December 13th 1991
I stood in a church
across from him
and he said I do
and I did too

On August 5th 1995
I laid in a bed
looking down at her
sleeping on my chest
her beauty was stunning

On June 18th 2002
I leaned down
and touched her
forehead lightly
looking at her again

On June 24th 2002
I touched her face
for the last time
my beautiful angel
really is an angel

On December 23rd 2005
I watched him slam the door
I felt my tears let loose a deluge
I knew this was the last time

Today it is January 11th 2015
I'm writing this on the back of a photo
I regret letting Maya go that night
and now I can go and beg for your forgiveness
