My Surrender

Another seven days of the same s**t.

Add that to the other twenty one,

When the resentment began to bite

And making up is no longer fun.

 

Days spent stockpiling my ammo

Finding the allies to take my side.

The next time I will be ready to go

As I make you pay for all I cried.

 

As you walk through that door

You're packing arsenal, too.

I just hope I am carrying more

And better trained than you.

 

I let you have the first shot.

I let you step  up close in my face.

Tears welling , feeling so hot

Sadness takes my angry place.

 

In your eyes, behind my reflection,

I see a light through the haze.

I recognize your affection,

From those those beginning days.

 

Quick agile motion your lips on mine,

The tears on my cheeks belong to you.

I didn't expect you so quickly to resign...

Or is this a cleverly planned coup.

 

Pulling back to say what I planned,

But I can't, and wouldn't, if I could.

Trying hard to keep this in my command.

But, oh my God, your lips taste so good

 

You whisper, "Can't you let me love you?"

"Do you have make me so mad?" I reply

I can feel my strategies begin to crumble

As he says "For you, I would readily die."

Ah, don't ya just hate it when that happens? I mean, you got a perfect plan set and ready...then WHAM! the opposition pulls out the big guns... you conveyed that situation clearly, where others , if they had not already been in that position themselves, felt what it would be like. Well done.

You captured that so well.
Just when your ready he drops his best shot...the kiss!!!
Then you melt and forgive all...

Ah. Humans seem to find something to fight about all the time- but you seem add the best part is to kiss and make up. Great job. I really like it.

Ah, the silly fights we humans have sometimes. Sometimes it's better to just kiss and make up. Nice poem. :)

This was such a deeply heavy piece you traced a depth in here that was so intense watching unfold piece by piece. I love the way you wrote this and the way that you made this flow with a grace and powerful delivery of a purposeful point blank "this is the way it has to be" style. You are alway such a pleasure to read and enjoy

That sounds like the wrong thing to say but depending on your state of mind it could be the perfect thing to say. LOL. Still this is nicely done.
