A Lovers Spat
I’m mad she said as she slammed the door,
I’ve never seen her act this way before.
She’ll be back I keep telling myself as I stand there staring at the door.
What if this is really it, and she can’t take no more?
I have to stop her as my mind races ahead,
Why do I hurt her, I really didn’t mean the things I said.
Baby I said I am wrong, I knew all along you were right.
Please don’t leave I am sorry I started this fight.
She turned and looked at me, and said don’t you know I love you?
I said yes, yes I do, I don’t know why I say those things to you.
She said you’re my life you’re the reason I live.
I’ve given you my heart, what more can I give?
As we stand there both in tears,
Recalling all the happiness we’ve shared throughout the years.
Why do we spend so much time hurting each other?
I’m your wife, dang it not your mother.
Her words spoke the truth while cutting so deep.
I finally see and I’m sorry I’ve been such a creep.
As we walk back to the house emotionally drained.
Holding each other’s hand thanking God our love still remains.
