Tonight

I committed

A cardinal sin:

I prejudge someone.

For once

I’m glad

That I was wrong.

As thoughts

Of this person

Being held

In police custody

Dominated me.

In reality

They were resting

Letting their damaged knee

Heal.

As per

Doctor’s orders.

In the past

They’ve let their temper

Guide their actions

During times

Of emotional distress.

Seeing them

Opening the door

When I knocked

Sent my heart

Fluttering with relief.

Later

I admitted

My guilty thoughts.

Apologizing

For not trusting them

As they hugged me

Forgiving my transgression.
