Sorry

Fingers ridiculed thoughts 
As they poured effortlessly
On to the screen
The mind opening its doors
To a flow of energy 
That gushed out
A million melodies.
A million melodies
That lover sent lover.

But without a voice, 
A mere message was
Misinterpreted
Jokes turned into jaws
Laughter, a frozen lake
Whose ice cracked
And shattered 
And shattered 
A brand new day.

And silence haunted the minutes
Words were spoken
But not heard
And conversations
Paused and wondered
If they should be continued
Or if they should be cut
Into pieces
and forgotten
Forever
Maybe let them float to the bottom 
of that Frozen lake 
whose ice had cracked
and Shattered?

And on both ends 
Of the thread
Knots were noticed
And with desperate fingers,
With nimble fingers,
With hope that lingered
Untangled and unwound.
And in that storm
Of perseverance
and Opinions
That did not matter,
Another message came through
'Im sorry' it said
'Let's start anew'.
