Again Today Poem by Michael Ernst

Again Today



I saw her again today
Still not easy after all this time
Told her she was looking great
Followed by a lie, said I am doing fine

She told me again she forgives me
And she's moving on to make a new start
Seemed important to her that I forgive myself
Magically forget all I'd done to break her devoted heart

I wish it was that simple
Just discard all her pain, pretend she felt none
I know I'll spend a lifetime trying
But I fear it will take dying to get it done
