Final Forgiveness

A breath. A step. A stone. A Rose.

Before you stands a man, alone.

Kneeling down he begs, he prays

forgiveness for a heart that strays.

A broken vow, “Never Again.”

His betrayal led to her end.

So she waits and listens in her frozen state

for an apology given, too little, too late.

He lays the rose down in the dark

will he ever find peace within his heart?
