Forgive Me, Frank Poem by John Sensele

Forgive me, if as time flies by, links loosen
Phone calls dwindle, text messages disintegrate
Emotions and feelings lessen
Frank, on my new status I have to concentrate.

Forgive me, if as my phonebook fills up, contacts crumble
Words don't come easy, speech slurs
Warmth and wishes fumble and ramble
Frank, our precipitous past now blurs.

Forgive me, if as my age advances, I don't remember your name
In my mind your face now features a distant memory
On me, lay neither blame nor claim
Frank, secure new supplies for your amorous armoury.

Forgive, if as matrimonial status changes, I can no longer warm up
New status nullifies freedom to befriend old flames
Lest skeletons from the past should overrun my conjugal cup
Frank, hobnob with free damsels and dames.
