A gash in my brow from side to side,
You split my skin nine stitches wide.
I don’t even have the cogency to cry.
Another ER trip, I swear I’m out.
No matter the showers of love that you spout.
I can’t put up with another shout.
I know one day I can live without…
But I’m clumsy, I’ll tell them I fell.
Even though all of my fallacies smell.
They won’t believe the volume of my yell.
But with gentle arms you re-create my cell.
I’ve been here before, I know this death knell.
I wish I could tell you no.
You know this won’t be the time I go.
Today is just not my day.
