Pain
I don't think
anything will be the same again.
I've upset you too much
for you to call me
and I'm too stubborn 
for me to call you.
I apologized
but it wasn't enough.
It never is,
is it?
Tears of salt
are cried from us both-
we both want to die.
Neither of us can do it, though.
Nothing can right this wrong-
there will be
no tv style happy ending
for us.
Only pain.
I'm sorry doesn't cut it 
when the pain sears and burns
through the day as well as night,
or when the cut goes in
just a little too deep.
