Goodbye Fault
Inspired by a Cyrus William Mistake
Some sticks and stones have more bones
than any philosophy you have ever shown.
When you assume your arrogant position
respect disappears from my spousal vision.
I find myself constantly wishing
we were not on a marriage mission.
Nothing wrong is ever caused by you.
You view fault as blame needing pointed to.
Mistakes are what others cause or do,
that your perfect self suffers through.
You need not learn, change or absorb
and that is why I color you absurd.
So, for you, I finally draw this line –
one side is yours, the other, mine.
Freely take all the fault you can find
and lay it on me in your best whine.
I know you will not reflect or opine.
As for me, I’m leaving my fault behind.
