Water Damage

You couldn't help
But spill your glass
Onto that nightstand
So that wood
Raised and cracked
You came 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 tile floor
Where you used to cook our meals
While you watched that small TV
That was so dangerously
Placed above the kitchen sink
They've all gone away

Again, I find myself focused on the insignificance
Like there will be a revelation that'll 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
Over and over
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
