Smash the glass on the table top
The temperature in my face just dropped
Yelling as you entered the kitchen
A burning rage going on within
The words I said stumbled through my lips
I guess ‘Sorry’ was one that I missed
You’re confused eyes fill me with regret
Like through all this pain, I’m in debt
You didn’t see it coming, I didn’t put up a sign
Guess I should’ve set out whiskey instead of wine
You quit smoking but this is an exception
Nicotine’s the only thing to sooth the aggression
I hear you tearing up the backyard
Slam the door behind you, hard
My tear-fogged vision is greeted with a picture
Consisting of you and me in a happy fixture
I don’t know what wrong turn we took
No answer in the ‘Love For Dummies’ book
I hear you chugging down beer bottles
Then throwing them against walls making puddles
Your dramatic reaction makes me confused
Were you still in love with me? Or was I being used?
I hear you swearing to yourself
I’m not sure if I should call for help
You re-enter the room with an exhausted face
With a surprisingly calm voice you say, “okay”
I watch as you get a blanket, ready to sleep on the couch
I go to our bed, and cry with a pillow to my mouth
Have I made a terrible mistake?
Taken more than I should take
All I can do is suck up all this mourning
And wait until the very next morning
