It was
only a nice drive through the country
With the
light in just the right spot
To set all
the trees in stark relief
We shared
a thought that this was right
That we
belonged here
And it got
me
Right
here
At my very core . . .
Unfortunately,
it got you too
Right in
the face
Listen,
dear, you are beautiful
Let’s get
that straightened out
Right
from the start,
So
there is no confusion
But, well,
you see, there is this thing that happens
Where you are
in complete conflict
Trying to
be strong
Stop the
tears from coming
Keep a
stiff upper lip
Maintain
your composure
Resulting
in a boggling conflagration
Where
every last part of your lovely facade
Tries to
beat up all the other parts
Locked in
mortal combat
Battling
for supremacy
Until the
whole skirmish becomes drenched
In a
gushing deluge
Of saline
and snot
So, I’m
sorry I read that passage
Where
something died
Or someone
was kind
That one
that was just so true
Not to
mention beautiful and life changing
But mostly
I’m
sorry
For what it did
to your face!
