coward

I am such a coward

Run away from arguments

Especially those that involve

history

You said like this that day

You did like that that day

Doesn’t so much history

make you forget the

present

do you remember

to excavate today’s reason

in the quagmire

of all those

yesterdays

I’m game for a good stir-up

But issue-based

Not loaded

Emotions

Recriminations

Self-serving

Wounds

Inflicted just to

Prove a point

I am such a coward

I say sorry just to kill

Argument

To close chapter which

Writes itself in

Dickensian length

It is like accident

Does it matter who was at

Fault

If both died
