[What We’ve Done]
Things I have done,
you’ve done,
have been
done before;
smothering each
other with
gas lights
is only self-induced
guilt-
I’ve
apologized,
as I’ve done
all my life,
then you’ll
accept,
as all my
apologies have been all my life,
double-back
& give me
the dagger
in an already
compromised spine
-then I’ll
lie,
helplessly,
knowing paralysis
will be
the story of
me,
the same of
you,
who has
never had the
integrity to
deliver a mercy
blow to an
ailing lover-
