No Wonder

It's no wonder

I get angry,

When we don't want

The same things.

This lie I'm living

Keeps me lazy,

But it's easier

Than breaking

I think I need a minute,

My heart is in my head.

Phone rings - think you should get it.

That look again - guess I'll pick up instead.

Pick up, put down the hammer.

Will it build or siege?

Caught in a rage, you stammer rhetoricals,

Like, "What the hell you need?"

We danced around commitment,

Then we locked it down

Much faster than we wanted.

Now we're playing house.

There are songs about love

People sing out loud,

But I forgot the words somehow.

It's no wonder

I get angry,

When we don't want

The same things.

This lie I'm living

Keeps me lazy,

But it's easier

Than breaking up.
