Prudence

Would it be prudent to
Walk away silently?
Should I back down
Without passion or heat?
Could there be consequence
Bent on inaction?
What good would become of
A velvet retreat?

I wasn’t wrong!
Well, maybe a little.
I was the victim!
But you were hurt, too.
You were the stubborn one!
I only wanted for you
To see my way.
Well, that’s nothing new.

Rethink the middle.
Retrace the path.
Prudence is practical.
You do the math.
