Nine Inch Nails

Driven Deep

By Andrew C McDonaldPublished 11 months ago • 1 min read

Our love crumbling

Despite attempted repairs

You just wall me out

**********

Home falling apart

I wanted to mend the cracks

But you used his tools

***********

Each nail jackhammered

Driven deep in my psyche

Nine inches of hell

**********

Fractured; cracks spreading

Bonds of matrimony warped

By your handyman

**********

I tried to shore up

Our shaky foundation

Yank those nine inch nails

**********

I too have the tools

I could repair our abode

But you won’t fire him
