Remorse

It was real hard

To cry until I saw the altar

I just couldn’t believe it,

Ya know.   ?

These kinda things happen to

Other people, not her

When I was younger, I was

friends with her son

They moved a lot, especially after

The divorce

But we still made time to see each other

We grew apart but

Bubblegum pink lip gloss

You

Chatter in your sleep to

An invisible boyfriend

You stand in a group, fake smiles hastily plastered

Over blond hair

At the mall
