I want to apologize
To the boy
With a sweet face
Small but muscular frame
Whom I fell in love with
Whom I had a short time
To share heaven with
Made love to,
Because it would
Break my soul
In a thousand
Pieces not to…
Because time has
Robbed me of his name,
But his mother
Was dying in Texas
And so he left
And all I have
Is a ghost
Of our love making
On my heart
Because the details
Have slipped my mind.
I still look up at the
Second story window
That used to be his
At the corner of 13th & Logan,
As if he were still there
Laying in his bed
Waiting for me.
Forgive me
I have forgotten
Your name,
The rest of you
& what we shared
Haunts me.
So I am writing down
What is left to me
Before that too
Has left me…
Beautiful boy.
