We spent last night in a fierce argument.
Nagged about the most trifling of issues.
We slept giving our backs to each other,
Hoping and wishing the day comes sooner.
The cold was double of what it used to be.
You scrambled for blanket to cover your chilled body.
I hustled for bedsheets to wrap my icing skin.
Proud hindered us from enjoying the night curdle.
As the rays of the sun woke us up,
You rushed to the bathroom and spent hours.
I stood patiently wishing you'd be fast.
But you intentionally prolonged the shower,
Wishing I'd angrily join you.
You prepared breakfast and served it in one plate.
Then I knew you'd want us to reconcile.
Inside me I wholly want that reconciliation.
But my pride was just waking up
So I left for work hungry.
I return from work with my anger gone.
I was happy inwardly but my expressions says otherwise.
I wished you'd hug me and pet me.
But you were scared I would get pissed.
I missed the fragrance of your breath when you hold me,
But then again, my pride has fully awoken.
Then it lingered for days.
Till my pride returned back to sleep.
You understood me and waited patiently for that day.
I felt bad that I put you through such.
I really want to change
But I lack the courage to slay my demon for good.
Hope you stay with me forever.
