One

One poem to remember.

One poem to forget.

One promise broken.

One barely kept.

One poem for love.
One poem for joy.

One for the daughter we never had.

One for the boy.

One because I hate you.
One because I love you.
One full of lies.

One heavy with truth.

One woman I loved.

One year to the day.
One woman I hated.
One too many times today.

One fight too many.
One last bit of sadness gone.
One last night of self-pity.
One last love song.
One last embrace.
One final bit of pain.
One last I'm sorry.
One last drop of rain.

One last poem for you.
One last sigh of regret.

One last sip for the evening.

One last cigarette.
