you got in the car
three days without a shower
hair hanging in your face
looking out the window
knowing what you did
what said
hurt

it had been said
your arguments made
so you sat there
listened as I told you
in a voice you never heard
what you truly done

afterward you clung to me
said you were sorry

my body was stress sore
exposed nerves 
raw eyes and gums
my father heart
broke to pieces
for us
and what we were 
in that moment
