Tit for Tat

If everyone gave tit for tat,

Who knows where we would all be at 

For every slight that we perceive

Bounced back to make another grieve

Would keep the cycle going ‘til

We finally would have our fill


Which would be never, for to reach

Another’s heart across the breach,

We need a willingness to bend

And then, before we reach the end,

There must be someone waiting there

To take the time and really care.


Until that day, there’ll always be

A lack of opportunity 

To work through feelings that arise 

When one may, cluelessly, surmise 

A disregard and therefore, that 

Will cause another tit for tat.
