relationship off with a long
list of apologies.
it's good to get
that out of the way
before things go any further.
i'm sorry i said what i said.
it was the gin talking.
i'm sorry i forgot your birthday,
our anniversary.
i'm sorry about these daisies,
they were out
of roses.
i apologize for not remembering
how you like
your tea or coffee
and that you're
a vegetarian
after i only bought red meat.
i'm sorry for not holding
the door open for you,
as you fiddled with
your phone.
i'm deeply sorry
for not calling when i said
i would.
i'm sorry i don't know your
shoe size.
your dress size, or your favorite
color.
i'm sorry, for not wanting
to meet your
parents and children,
and aunt and uncle
in Philadelphia.
i'm sorry for not going to
the parade,
or the amusement park
to ride the roller coaster.
i'm sorry about my snoring,
for not putting the seat down
on the toilet.
for leaving the butter out
overnight
on the counter.
i'm sorry that
i refused to hold
your purse while you tried
on another dress
in the changing room,
and for calling out some
other woman's
name in the middle of the night.
i'm sorry.
i'm very very sorry about that.
to be continued, no doubt.
