2012-12-25 - parenthetically
I loved everything about you
(except for the things I hated)
and when I started to doubt you
(like when you confessed you were jaded)
I took out my weed-killer spray
(the stuff that puts bad plants away)
and commenced to pull out all the stops
(in an effort to save all our crops)
I guarded the gap of your fence
(where the dogs devoured your sense)
I planted and watered good seed
(in the soil of your heart without greed)
to prove my intentions were true
(when push came to shove in full view)
I left in the season of rain
(that my labor might not be in vain).
