Let me be
one hundred percent honest
with you
I  have never
ever been
one hundred percent  honest
with anyone
including you
and that
my friend
is
one hundred percent true
honest
totally and completely
true
although I have never been
one hundred percent honest
or true
with anyone
including you.

you left
and then
I left
there was probably
only
five minutes
anger between
us

Sorry to call
I know we said we wouldn’t
it’s just
you left your smile here
and a couple of your laugh
outlouds
tempted to throw them
in the trash
but
you might need them  again
someday
somewhere
soon.

When you said
you were sorry
I thought
you meant it

This
my little one
is just life
showing its teeth
I can’t help you
that would be
defeat
this my little one
you must face all alone
at least
until the next time
you get home

You left
just a beat
before midnight
and I
woke up
to a brand new day.

are we two
a
costly mistake
or
a beautiful embrace?
