Toni's Poem

I'm sorry I tangled your sheets
and your thoughts and
I'm sorry I called your phone
and left messages before you woke
and I'm sorry I never called you back
and I'm sorry I broke
When you started dating boys-
Ryan and Nick, specifically-
and I'm sorry I never once
talked to you about that
rough tangled night
of rough kisses and touches
and I'm sorry it took me so long-
four goddamn months-
to write you this poem
and I'm so fucking sorry
that you'll never get to read it.


And the paper lay crumpled, in the bottom of the trash.

Just a little something I hope will hold you over until the next chapter is done with.
