A Good Enough Apology

Undeniably tired Dark circles under his eyes Lips still in a straight line Devoid of happiness Just too tired Tongue like daggers Understandably hurt Tears fall from her eyes Lips quivering and chewed Lack of inner light Confused by hurt Words spoken like down feathers So f*cking tired Three beers gone 8%...9.5%....11%... Starting to be able to sleep His eyes closing gently Forget everything else Scared of an argument Sneaks back into bed 1...2...3...breath slowly lays her head on his chest heart beating, eyes closing fingers splayed on warm skin Eyes open slightly Without the need to He feels her familiar shape Arms wrap tight around her Peaceful sleep Good enough for an apology

Great description of the apology also, Jessica. Very well done. Hard to describe those confusing feelings however you succeeded with the pictures you presented in this write. Now thank you for your comments on my poem. I appreciate it. However I have not disgraced myself with assumptions as you so tactfully put it. I know Moslems and love those I have helped teach English to. Those don't take over countries... but they are required to follow those radicals that historically always do. love,Bob
