You wait for me to apologize
For stealing the light from eyes.
I handed you
a simple
But beautiful
rose,
Then I finally realized
That all you saw were
Thorns.
And eventually
You left.
Every once and awhile
Your Expressionless face
Forms in my mind.
I think of ways I could have apologized
Instead of giving you
A stupid rose.
