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.
