A Token of His Love: A Poem
Held in his not-so-gentle hand
A rose so frail
The color of blood
"I'm sorry." He says softly
"I'm sorry too." I reply
Enfolding in his arms
A token of his love
Held out in apology
A heart shaped locket
His words are my prison
"I'm sorry." He says softly
"I'm sorry too." I reply
Enfolding in his arms
A token of his love
Held out on bended knee
A ring for my bridal day
"It won't ever happen again...
I'm sorry." He says softly
"I'm sorry too" I reply
Walking into the rain
Never looking back.
