An Apology

A wondrously sunny morning

A spring in her step as she walks

A heart fluttering furiously her only warning

Only one person on her mind as she talks

Engaged in a verbal duel with the girls

Her sneaky eyes only seek a certain face

Complimenting others, flaunting her pearls

The delay throws her happiness out of pace

A furrow between her perfect eyebrows

A sulk on her pink lips

The entire wrath that hell endows

Is lashed out as her tongue whips

The insincerity of the heart

The very casual promise

The cheesy lines on his part

She’s a young vulnerable girl, just a novice

Oh yes, she is hurt

Yes, she is mad

Her lips seal in a smile too curt

Her eyes filling with an emotion too sad

She spends the day in thought

Making vows to herself through the day

She won’t ever feel this again

She won’t ever again go that way

As she treads on the same pathway

That she had followed that sunny morn

She realizes how much has drained away

From her fluttering heart, yes, now she has been warned

On that path, some distance away

Stands a figure shadowed

Just one glance makes her heart flip

Her throat is constricted with the load

She avoids his eyes, rushing on ahead

Trying to blink away the tears before they’ve come

Her heart was literally breaking, as they had said

Fury mingling with hurt

He calls out her name

She turns to face him

Braces herself for this one last game

And whips out all the fire to satiate her whim

He stands with his head hanging

Shuffles his feet on the ground

His hand rises with a red rose in it

And a muttered apology is found
