Mea Culpa

Here. Speechless.

Witness to rebuilding.

Guilt well-deserved.

Remorse.

Inadequate.

Grateful for understanding.

Trust betrayed.

Trust born of innocence.

Courage preserving innocence.

Promises unfulfilled.

Past moments of sweetness.

Memories now called into question.

A question of self.

Uncertainty visible.

A question of deception.

No answer enough.

Helpless.

Unable to understand.

Pain unintended.

This is me.

I ask forgiveness. 

Not for the last time.
