The Argument

Be responsible! "Your behavior is your own", He reminded me. Where did I go wrong? I thought we were together. Was this my mistake? I thought we agreed. "You did not listen, again. I never said it". The rage took over. My responsibility!!! "You are such a jerk!" I had to get out. Now, no containing myself! I am angry now. For days and for days, I have been biting my lip. "Shine in on", I said. Yesterday, he asked, "What is the matter with you?" I could not respond. The life is straining I am thinking of leaving. The love is spilling. Today, he gets it. "I am sorry for my part". "I do understand." The raw torn places Are still touching hot, red nerves I feel like the fool. The life is draining I am thinking of staying. The love is filling. "Pork chops for dinner?" He is taking the control. He is never wrong.
