More Divorce

I sit paralyzed
on the edge of the bed
while she slowly packs away
a lifetime of memories
blankly staring
with tearful eyes
at our dissolution

This is
our forever goodbye

The final chapter
of this surreal tragedy
our love could not forestall

Opportunity 
after opportunity lost
at the bridge
I could not cross

My damn pride
sabotaged it all

Past the point of no return

As I peer out the window

She closes the trunk

then backs out of the driveway

glancing up

one last time 

Our eyes meet

as I whisper

a final

"I'm sorry"
