Just One Lie

Sitting on my rocking chair
Lost in deep thoughts
Regretting my past
Discouraged about my future
I remembered Daniel
My childhood best friend
Whom I had hurt badly
Because
I had always assumed
He was mine
Even though we were never
A couple
He married the
Best lady of all
Almost perfect in all things
And I was just
Simply me
The envy
And jealousy
That possessed me
Was beyond reason
And I lied
And broke them apart
Now that I am old
Almost blind
And tired
I reflect on my
Past
And I live in
Complete remorse
And regret
I must call Daniel and apologize
For this regret
Is like a raving fire
Threatening to engulf me
Yes,
I must call Daniel
And I pray
He forgives me
Just one lie
And a terrible consequence
Today
I dedicate my lips to God
And commit my mouth
To truth
As I pray
Daniel forgives me.
