She will be home soon:
I've totally cleaned the apartment;
She's been gone to for 3 days,
I haven't seen her since Tuesday night,
Things are strained, to say the least:
I love her, I hate her;
I cannot talk with her about my feelings;
She insists on talking to me about hers;
My ears are battered and my mouth bound,
Her fear keeps my blood boiling,
both pity and sympathy colliding:
a train, off the tracks,
headed off a cliff,
while the passengers play cards.
