Guilt and Regret
4.
Not so long ago I,
a newly single woman,
desperate for a relationship.
I fell in love with you,
a single mum
living in Northampton.
I travelled there most nights
weekends,
and we sat in the cemetery
smoking and talking poetry,
matching tattoos
and when you broke up with me
I accused you of using me for the money
and I'm really sorry I said that to you
but I was upset
and I thought we had something, there.

Splitting up is never easy - unfortunately.
