he leaves her eyes watering
another long unneeded fight
she turns around and finds him gone
she's slowly searching
for the sight of the one she loves
he walks away Baby I'm sorry I messed up
baby I'll make this right by the end of the night
turns back around and doesn't see her
I messed up beyond that which I can control
She hears a knock its three hours later
she opens the door and runs to his arms
he shows her the new wounds hes created
says baby I'm so sorry look what I did to make it better
He looks at her with love and remorse
she stares blankly at his arms
Babe don't you understand
hurting you hurts me more then anything
She collapses to the floor
babe you promised you swore
how could you hurt me this much
and she drowns in a pool of tears
He looks down at her awestruck
I thought I did something right
all I ever do is hurt you but I love you so much
He drops to his knees beside her
Arms wrapping around her
he pulls her close
Baby I'm sorry I hurt you
she looks up at him
I know you love me babe but
that's not the way to fix whats wrong
only one mans wounds could fix things
babe you're not him
No one is perfect I know that
try and understand that too
even with our stupid little fights
I'll still love you
Baby I'm sorry I thought this would help
now I understand
all I needed to do was wrap my arms around you
remind you of my love
Baby I'm nowhere near perfect
you never expected me to be
the one that holds us together now
will keep us through eternity
she kisses his cuts and says a prayer
babe you and I are only human
together we fall easily
remember that always there are three in our number
that will keep us strong through eternity

I don't think this even qualifys as poetry it just kinda came to me as I was thinking about the insecurity that my friend used to have and whenever he and his girlfriend fought he'd cut himself. Sorry Random
