Circle of life

Charles Michael Craven

chaos creator
rears his head again
on a good day, for no reason
other than
a day without conflict
is just neglect
dressed up for Halloween.

got some rain today in Texas,
easy day at the paper,
free dinner and leftovers,
no stubborn pain
and plenty of pills.

so instead of being happy,
I picked a fight with my girlfriend
in order to prevent the sky from falling,
my head from hurting
and my eyes staying open past bed time.

I’ll regret it later,
just like every time before.
she’ll forgive me,
just like every time before.
and when she stops letting it go,
she’ll let me go
and my heart will break,
just like every time before.
