Water Damage

You couldn't help But spill your glass Onto that nightstand So that would Raise the cracks Became to have such shaky hands

Those patriotic coffee cups That came in a set of four Became three when I found a handle Broken off on the tiled floor Where you used to cook our meals While you watched that small TV That was so dangerously Placed above the kitchen sink

Came and gone away Again, I find myself Focused on the insignificant Like there will be a revelation that will make a difference

That night when you took the wrong dose And weren't making any sense Is a night that I often remember And one I wish I could forget But it's there to stay

It's been replaying Over and over The words they echo A violent offer When you leaned in And said We both know what this is

And I haven't recovered since No I haven't recovered since No I haven't recovered
