For Us
Coffee pours until quarter after
When you trade one brew for another
It fits your hand better
You were parched
You needed something stronger
You’re mowing the yard
It’s the weekend
Jimmy Buffet says so
A list of why’s that shielded my eyes
From the pain that you drank away
Until I stared into your truth
For the both of us

Thank you for sharing. It’s difficult being on either side of this.
Big sigh. How I understand this ending!
You captured both sides well.
Powerful beginning and ending:
Coffee pours until quarter after
When you trade one brew for another
It fits your hand better
and Until I stared into your truth
For the both of us
