How Long?

An epic story. Person A gets mad, Person B apologizes. Person A says okay but still wants to be curt. Person B gets mad at that. Endless cycle.

How long must I wait on bended knee

Before you'll look in my eyes?

How  long will you make me grovel and beg

When I come to apologize?

 

I told you I was sorry

For the way things went before

You say you want to make things work

But when I come you slam the door

 

I don’t know what else I’m supposed to say

Or how I’m supposed to be

When you say that you’re not mad anymore

But I can’t tell if you forgive me

 

You’re pushing me in the corner

Just like you do when you’re hurt

And I guess you think you can not be mad
And still be removed and curt

 

I understand how you feel right now

And after time I know you’ll come around

But remember the longer you keep me away

The longer it takes to rebound

I'll wait for you like I always do

Trying to be what I should

But keeping a woman waiting too long

Doesn't often turn out good

"And after time know you’ll come around"
The flow here threw me off, I had to read it a couple of times to get the flow back, might I suggest adding a word or punctuation?
"And after time I know you’ll come around"
-or-
"And after time, know you’ll come around"

Yes, this is situational, but most people can relate. You're a good writer.

I like this, it is direct and to the point.

[Kat Plunkett]

Beautiful piece, powerfully emotional:) xx

Amen sister, don't keep her waiting(unless she deserves it...LOL) just kidding. Nice point made about the delicate games we play when we are sifting through what we feel is an important relationship. None of this would be happening if someone didn't think it was worth it. I liked the feel and the pace. Nice write sweets.

[Miss Coral]
