Time Heals All?

A Poem

Sitting here

Looking at your picture

Thinking of all we had

Remembering how I told you

I wanted nothing more than to be a dad

And watching your heartbreak

As sadness seeped in

Because you thought

That could never be

Between you and me

It would never work you said

As we laid in your bed

Your head buried in my chest

No matter if we did our best

There was no way

Because that day

We were trapped in a prison

Of perception

You said no one would fall for our deception

There was no amount of misdirection

Or discretion

That would work

The world would know

They weren’t completely ours

As long as you were in tow

You feared that no matter what

It would show

That somehow

They would know

I’m sorry for it all

I never wanted to hurt you

I just wanted to answer your call
