so many words

feel I owe you something

tells me when I write

down thoughts

don’t always appear

as planned

on speaking to you

were not around

me only book and pen

too over

many minutes

searching through thoughts

may come as a surprise

myself at times…

so I must apologize

for jumping down

your throat with words

don’t fit

this may not see

any eye but yours

are the important

ones here

what I have to say

I am sorry is an

understatement

to explain before you read

in the face I am…

after a long summer

both now on separate roads

that will cross seldom

does one make friends

that last and stand

the test of time

comes in life when

few things actually matter

of fact many times

I couldn’t tell what

made a difference

and what did not

mean to offend you

are one who I draw close

the window

stayed open a little bit longer…

can’t control frustration

is an emotion, a feeling

you know as well as I

cannot make sense out of

what my mind

does not want me

to ignore

what has been said

I thought long and hard

to handle

broken arrow pointing

me in the wrong

direction at times…
