A mistake I made...that took awhile to stitch up...
I had to tell thee
For the lion born inside me
Relentlessly
thrashed at my gut

For I,
the villain in this scene
Would soon drive a dagger through that
whom meant the most to me

The memory played and played
Until I saw her face that day
A coward I envied to be
Without a conscience torturing

But betrayed I was by my own tongue,
Which spoke fluently
Leaving nothing out
She bent over in pain
Finished now

My onward dimmed
Oh, an unfaithful fool I’d been
Looking at her listening
The roots ripped from her innocent stare
She know looked up upon me hatefully
With an all knowing glare

And love let shout
with clenched teeth
Two simple words…
Get out

Half of me rose that day
Dazed and endlessly alone
Slipped away
Departing for a place unknown

Forgetful did I know back then
That inside I left my heart
Someday I’ll have to scale the wall
And sing to it in the dark
Begging forgiveness from an old friend,
And maybe just maybe
Piece by piece it back together again…
