i've rode angry
traveled hurtful
shook hands with embarrassing
and kissed the cheek of humiliation.
i faced off with my fears
softly held my worries
and coddled every tear
...my well has not run dry/but i've given up dipping
for fresh water.
i've prayed hard for days
asked forgiveness/rebuilt trust/and let you know
i've grown & matured.
i miss our friendship
and shared laughs,
but i've said all i can say
done all i can do.
there's a divine purpose & reason
in what i've lost in/with you
its taken me 5 months, 21 days, 9 hours, 30 minutes
and these fleeting seconds to write this poem
...yet I've grown indifferent to hoping you listen.
