Heaven

Heaven

It’s in bed where we forgave

being grumpy, crank and cross,

with any right side long since lost.

She could no longer hide

from having to get up

and who ever said she had to?

Duty called and called in vain

after snoozing more than thrice.

No one tells her what to do!

Yelling how she loathed, despised

the groomed, seemingly sane

coming from the bathroom.

I nodded franticly,

she broke and smiled a sec

then cursed me for the lack

of toothpaste.

I nodded franticly,

she broke and smiled a sec…

Such bad taste in toothpaste.

I heard her slam the door,

telling me of the force

of with ‘Fuck!’ infused reluctance.

So, so tired, I’d forget

having no chance in hell

that what I felt could be forgotten.

Sunshine did break through the fog,

again, I caved and called her up.

Surely, she would not stay mad,

she’d relent today because

even the damned tumor had

but she, my love, she didn’t answer.

I nodded franticly,

she broke and smiled a sec

then cursed me for the stack

of dishes.

I nodded franticly,

she broke and smiled a sec

then cursed me for my lack

of wishes.

Such a waste.
