Little Flower Boy II

face familiar

a little

cold

and

untouched

I don’t really recognize it at first

I blocked you out 

but when caught in thought

flooded with

anything

and

everything

your name had the tag on

stored away

thought to be

lost

in my memory

the beautiful

the bad

the funny

the perfect



and now the gold tag has been hung

around your apologies

special but long overdue

and over used

and the drawer I decide to shut

because I loved my little flower boy

but your file has been sealed

long ago

I cannot keep forgiving

my heart has moved on
