Untitled

trying to convince the unconvinceable
with such precise precision presiding over each decision
of where to place, where to position each repetition -
i love you, i love you, i love you, i love you
of where to place, where to position each repetition -
i love you, i love you, i love you, i love you


each meeting always mixed
with the fixed idea of who did what and where and to whom
always erupting, disrupting our speech as we each preach
to the other as if a mother admonishing her child


confrontation compounding compounding compounding until
rationality and its counter clash into a crash
into a frantic dash of emotion and the notion of who was always right
and we fight into the night not knowing
it was neither you
nor I who was always right


those long long nights filled with fights
only accomplished one thing
always always always
causing compromise to end in goodbyes

  1. Stanza four should end with

    ||it was neither you
    ||nor I

    instead of with an explanation. The explanation is already above those two lines.
