THE LAST WORD

When we argued, you complained

that I always wanted to have the last word.

I denied it, and so it went on

until I stopped answering

and the last years just listened

and said nothing.

It is like talking to walls,

you said then,

but you no longer complained

that I wanted to cause you a heart attack

by arguing against you

that as my only goal.

Now I have the last word,

and how I wish I wouldn't

have it; how I wish

I would have listened

you that night

when the heart attack came.
