Duty to defend
what happens behind closed doors
from childhood friendships
Each to their own, son
no woman waits forever
she moves on to find
Another new friend
to pay her some attention
enough to feel real
Remember, my mind
never forgets a mistake
how to come to grips
Murder my own soul,
efface all past memories,
ask God for mercy
In adolescence,
I knew a young woman who
sought my blood to bind
No one knew my mind,
nor could I, it was windy
nothing I could feel
Did I rebuff you
way back in junior high school
and now say sorry
Yes, I hurt my friends
with no thought of the future
face controversy
Sheepishly in shame
while writing a short poem
for to make amends
Or speak in person
of some insignificant
event in your life
Remember, my mind
cannot forget past mistakes
so, forgive me friends
Reaching out to talk
after forty years is dumb
thread cut with a knife
Yet, I imagine
if I weren't a doomed head case
fate would be starry
