Last one

That’s it and I am done

Sorry is not something I do well
Being that for myself,
I would rather not do it at all.

So I read a bit
Ginsberg and Nash,
Yeats and Plath

And thought,
That’s it, and I am done.

Someone thinks I am a bit beyond
Ordinary

While you have kept me less than <

I equal more than that.

Since ornery is one of my favorite words
Perhaps to act a little more like it
Would suit me better

Than you thinking I should be sorry
One more time

That we both committed to an “I do”.

Because one of us just don’t “do” anymore.

That’s giving you far too much credit
More than you deserve
And yet for me to be sorry one more day
Is like watching that car swerve
Directly for my lane of walk
So before I say more talk

Accept the silence.

That’s it.

The last one.

And I am done.

(smiles) YAY!!! Oh my gosh, I think we can all relate to this request for silence so very much when sorry just is meaningless, sweet friend, this speaks with such emotion! (kiss on cheek) We all love you so much, sweet friend, we all hear you and your heart so well! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet friend, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
