On The Table...

Apologies due to misunderstandings in love...

 

Said some things that hurt you last night

aggrevation laced answers without foresight

barbs, buckshots, and words that do damage

misconceived thoughts and tones I can’t manage

and pain hit the floor like blood

frustration flood clogged my mind like crud

yet you kept your cool cause you knew

that my stressed mind state didn’t involve you

I blew fuses, sparkplugs, and let dat fire spew

not disrespectful but still the atypical flew

 

And I slept in reruns of it like Tivo

your questions, my defense reacts, you know?

marinated in the unrelated disagreement

serenaded by your concern in the tone you sent

began to see my mistake and felt instant heart ache

for heaven’s sake, what was I thinkin’?

took it out on you and I won’t even drinkin’

 

Now I pace the recent battlefield

shuddering in the echoes of my fault

shivering in the possibility of your thought

cause I made a bed in which you won’t lay

and I don’t blame you

I’ve done this before yet it never inflamed you

forgiving to a fault but not without a break

first time you’ve looked my way and pumped your break

and that I can’t take

that I can’t take

can’t take that you can’t take

you can’t take

So I breathe deep and wade neck deep in apology

leave my love on the table

and walk away
