Place Of Work

and out of habit I wish to apologize
for showing up at your place of work these nights
wrecked and teary eyed
and smiling, two too many times
you told me that letting people have their way
is how a person gets taken advantage of
I see now that it is helping no one stay
I say that I am okay, just working a lot of things out in my head, like that wasn't how it always was



I put my hands, then face on the counter, innocently
me needing to tell you how I am counterproductive is the aspect of utmost barbarity in my counter productivity
