A Good Enough Apology
Undeniably tired
Dark circles under his eyes
Lips still in a straight line
Devoid of happiness
Just too tired
Tongue like daggers
Understandably hurt
Tears fall from her eyes
Lips quivering and chewed
Lack of inner light
Confused by hurt
Words spoken like down feathers
So f*cking tired
Three beers gone
8%...9.5%....11%...
Starting to be able to sleep
His eyes closing gently
Forget everything else
Scared of an argument
Sneaks back into bed
1...2...3...breath slowly
lays her head on his chest
heart beating, eyes closing
fingers splayed on warm skin
Eyes open slightly
Without the need to
He feels her familiar shape
Arms wrap tight around her
Peaceful sleep
Good enough for an apology
