Things I have done,
you’ve done,
have been done before;
smothering each other with
gas lights is only self-induced
guilt-
I’ve apologized,
as I’ve done all my life,
then you’ll accept,
as all my apologies have been all my life,
double-back & give me
the dagger in an already
compromised spine
-then I’ll lie,
helplessly,
knowing paralysis will be
the story of me,
the same of you,
who has never had the
integrity to deliver a mercy
blow to an ailing lover-
