a study toward sonnet #330 by FisherKingKQJ
You're obstinate, mean, and you often score
Some quisling points against your own team,
And what the blazes makes you think I'll thaw-
Do you want to hear my safety valve scream?
Long after you've argued your trivial theme,
Long after I've submitted, so as to keep
The peace, you let off massive puffs of steam,
You meme your chant or else rant as if deep.
Into my clenched heart break up clauses seep,
Though now my silent treatment can appease,
Though in front of you no tears dare I weep,
Some marriage counsellor can broker peace.
You know precisely what it's like to hurt,
I know your circumstance, I might blurt.
You know precisely what it's like to hurt.
You know precisely what it's like to agonise.
You know precisely what it's like to suffer.
