Icarus

Icarus

Redemption

Thank you for encouraging this reconciliation from years gone by. You were the only person who had ever cared enough to just shrug over this issue.

It’s been 14 years
Since we’ve spoken
14 years
In which I’ve tried to
Bury my regrets
But that’s no longer true
What a waste
All that time has been
In limbo
Always wondering
But afraid to know for sure
I now know
I don’t have a child
That I will never know
I know now that he is not mine
I have atoned for my misbehavior
We have spoken now
We have buried the hatchet.

(2014)
