That time I missed your birthday

 

I never believed the date could

         just

      slip

             by

without demanding my focus –

  a big red crayon circle

    on my mind’s calendar –

A call to action,

 as if my

   thoughtfulness

 would make some sort of

   difference…

 

***

 

I simply forgot.

 

Only noticed it in the rear view mirror,

 another unremarkable passage of hours,

and I didn’t even feel

 guilty

  about that.

 

I didn’t feel anything at all.

 

It’s about damn time I caught up

 

.

    1. hello Broken One this made me sad…I was thinking earlier that I go along thinking I’m kind until I look at my relationships and realize how mean I can be and I do feel guilty thought provoking write ❤️

      • Sorry to make you sad. I doubt that you’re mean, though!
        This was sort of a response to the other one I posted today. No point feeling guilty when the other person has already left the relationship.
        Thanks for reading!
        ❤️k

    2. Dear K,

      This’ll learn them. You forget me I forget you. I’m just kidding…sort of. For me, the heartfelt under current of a relationship shift is prevalent in the write, and we carry these slights forever whether there’s forgiveness or not. I really appreciated this poem. H🌷
