Ronald Bingham Poet Narrative

Two Little Words

Two Little Words
I see a broken heart in the making.
   The smile I see I know she’s faking.
The hurt this time is more than even she can bear.
   What has happened to me, I act like I don’t even care.
We had such a great thing but it all went away.
   Two little words were all I had to say.
But I couldn’t bring them to light.
   I let foolish pride win this fight.
Sometimes I think I carry my brains in my back pocket.
   One little spark will set me off like a rocket.
To quick to accuse to slow to give praise.
    What’s happened to us, what happened to the better days.
The empty promises that were never kept and certain things she never heard.
   The many tears I could’ve stopped with just two little words.
She’s standing at the door with a bag or two.
   She’s giving me a chance and I know what to do.
Baby I’m sorry, that’s all it took.
   And it didn’t hurt a bit if you could have just seen that look.
Those two little words were all she was waiting for.
   Two little words kept her from packing up and leaving in her old car.
           I’M  SORRY
