I reached out my hand,
"amends" I said.
Yet.Your.Hand.It.Did.Not.Reach.
The.Hand.That.Reached.In.Reconcile.
I'll reconvince myself, for a while.
That even if you disagree,
you'll never take that part of me -
that tried and made the effort; she
will hold her head up so high, you see;
but will always be in pain.
