Domestic Values

I pushed you, you pushed me
now here we go again miss.
Why do we always have to settle
on punches and ridicule instead of
communication and understanding?
I had a rough childhood so I take it
out on you, your father was abusive,
now I have to bear that awful front
of tears and temporary goodbyes.
Why did we have to say goodbye to
the good times of smiles and kisses?
How did it ever get to this point?
How can a question posed in fault ever
be solved by the same people involved?
Question upon question, no answers
only blames thrown along with dishes
and fists, oh my! what have we become?
Why don't we just get up and go?
For so long now I have contemplated
such an action to only be convinced
otherwise by the person I hurt the most.
How much longer before we both grow
away from the abuse and demand respect?
All the arguing and backtalk is getting
old and childish. Truce? Cold turkey?
Never! We will forever be enemies
living in the same roof. Sigh!
God will judge us accordingly, until
then we will be at each other's throat.
Is that the way we want it? Seems so,
Have we lost our self respect? Oh Lord!
What am I doing here!? I don't
understand the mind of the stable,
all I ever want to do is fight my queen,
all she ever wants to do is slain the king.
I'm trying to understand the concept,
you're trying to keep things the same.
I blame you and you blame me, our
favorite game till the end of us. This
relationship will surely be the end of us.
Our happiness. Disgusting!
