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
