an unintentional remark <br />AND <br /> <br />with the flick <br />of a switch <br />your face <br />grows tight <br />and white <br />with rage <br /> <br />and I stand <br />heart hammering <br />helpless <br />to stop your hurt <br />and frustration <br /> <br />your habit <br />from along ago <br />when you hid your face <br />from the jeers <br />of your peers <br />and pretended you didn't care <br /> <br />I made <br />a terrible mistake <br />and caused you more pain <br />than I could have ever imagined <br /> <br />I know <br />deep down <br />you have forgiven me <br /> <br />but sadly <br />I also know <br />you'll never forget.<br /><br />Alison Cassidy<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-little-glitch/
