quarrels marinated in expired words
yourfault/i'msorry/wish/youwere/gone,

couches that cough up dust when you
throw your hand against the cushion,
lay your head back, and breathe,

air, a coiling snake in your lungs,
crawling back out as carbon dioxide,

a home marinated in expired words,
pillows thrown against reflections
of what its dwellers never wanted to become.
why do they fight about silly things

Everyone fights sometime, I think it's part of a relationship. I love the writing in this.
