SORRY
A Poem by TTBoy
I caught a glimpse of Emily today
She was going so fast, I had very little to say
But soon we were side by side
And I asked her if she was enjoying her ride
She told me she had waited long enough
And that he had to catch her whenever he could
I went to speak but it came out rough
I asked her to tell me who and she said she would
She said her friend Mourir was too slow
And asked if I would join her or was headed for the same place
I told her that I knew not where to go
As she smiled at me when I looked her in the face
She was the prettiest she had ever been
I told her she reminded me of my past due friend
My destination she was curious of again
As I saw her eyebrow bend
The sun was about to set.
Over my shoulder, there were two cyclists behind
Two I had not yet met
Two whose cycles were all but kind
Emily looked at me
I asked if she had any fear
She told me no as far as she could see
And, from her eye I saw a tear
Soon they were on the side of us
One for me and one for her
Looking straight ahead I felt a touch
The softest one could ever be
Because of the near darkness
I could barely tell if there was a face
Just streaks of hair
No nose no eyes
I glanced over again at Emily
And she was not there
Emily and her date
Went like the light
While I and mine just kept riding
Straight through the night
