Kristian Driscoll

Are You Really Sorry?

Broken free
It’s just you and me
It’s too easy!
I knocked it right around you

I glance back
I am all alone
Simple empty-netter

I am sorry but smacking
That winning goal
In the back of the net
Was so liberating
Someone has to win

Please forgive me
As you pull back the net
and remove the ball
From the back of your goal
