Out of Shame <br />I walked a million miles <br />With no aim <br />At world's end <br />I leaned forward <br />Before I came around and returned to my senses <br /> <br />Foolish pride prevented me from taking a step back, <br />Into the awkward situation I created out of sin <br />Embarrassment kept me frozen in fear <br />Nerve defrosted me and burned a bridge <br /> <br />I'm proud my consciousness screamed loud <br />With no apology I took my first steps back <br />Away from the one that I wronged <br />I walked through the door <br />Without looking back <br />Not even a sorry, sorry was uttered <br />But I sincerely didn't mean it <br /> <br />(10-29-08)<br /><br />Darrin McMiller Jr.<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/forgive-me-not-2/
