Risk and Reward
Please do not stand on ceremony
I just want to curl up and hide
No desire to see anyone today
My brain has been fried
This was a day
That should have been pure leisure
A time to connect and participate
In each other’s pleasure
Instead we pummeled and punched
and rained on our own parade
Fighting, hurting and causing pain
Replaying the same old charade
Exhausted and spent
We go our separate ways
To heal and recover
And come back another day
Caught in the same trap
Of risk and reward
Kiss and make up
Add points on the scoreboard
