Beth drifts through my intentions

like lack of sleep irritates a bad dream.

I decline to fight without understanding.

Verses in love songs replay memories

of times before she slept with him or me.

Tears welled in my eyes over the chorus of

a woman pleading for him to stay.

“Stop saying ‘sorry’,” I said, “say you understand.”
