Poetry: Guilty conscience

by Waldo News

Created on: June 26, 2008

Plane engines thrust powerfully forward, driving to heaven
8am flight, number 687
Been up all night, mind racing
Spent the last two hours at the terminal pacing

How could I have...
Why did I do...
One moment tipsy on the Ave...
The next removing my shoe...

One thing led to another, I didn't intend
In a strange foreign land, just talking like friends
A giggle here, a brush of the hair
The next thing I remember, I'm taking "her" there

It was a mistake, I know that now
Many hours ahead, Maybe I can figure out how
Coming to terms, I don't know if I can
Cheated on you in Bangkok, and I slept with a man
