That Fight, That Night

This is a Brief Glimpse of Where We Were
This is how We Will Never Be Again

i'm home
he's out
drunk
calling me
why don't you come home? i say
is it a crime? he replies
is it a crime? he replies
if you loved me, if you cared about us you would be here right now
i'm sick and alone and you're out and you're drunk
i don't care that you went out for a drink with your friends but its late and you're calling me when you should be here instead
i'm not having this conversation over the phone
our relationship is deteriorating and you're out
i'm sick and we said we'd go to the counselor tonight and instead you're at a gay bar
where you met a guy not even a few weeks ago
i don't want you to come home tonight
why don't you just go home with danny or some guy
i don't want to be woken up again and have this fight all night long
if you loved me you'd be here right now
i hope you wake up tomorrow morning and you've slept in late again and you lose your job and maybe that will sink in that you have a problem because you're obviously not listening to me
i don't want to be in this relationship any more

i won't be hurt any longer


I Put This Here
After Much Thought and Consideration
To Show Just Where We Came From
To Show Where We Are Now

No one is Right
No one is Wrong

Every Journey Has Significance
I Can"t Ever Fully Know How Hard It Is
To Work Two Full Time Jobs
To Have To Come Home to a Boyfriends with NEEDS

We Are Great Now
It's Better Every Single Day
One Day At A Time

But That Night Got Much Uglier
Much More Violent
And That Was One of Many

But
It Was Also
The End of This Period

And The Start of What Will Be A Renaissance

Together
Happy
Changed
Appreciative
Aware
Alive
In Love

And Without Darkness
What Is Light?
