More Divorce

I sit paralyzed

on the edge of the bed

while she slowly packs away

a lifetime of memories

blankly staring

with tearful eyes

at our dissolution..

This is

our forever goodbye..

The final chapter

of this surreal tragedy

our love could not forestall..

Opportunity lost

at the bridge

I could not cross..

My damn pride

sabotaged it all..

Past the point of no return..

I peer out the window..

She closes the trunk

then backs out of the driveway

glancing up

one last time.. 

Our eyes meet

as I whisper

one last futile

"I'm sorry"
