Midnight Truce
Quarrelsome lover
Is it safe for me to return to our bed?
Will the tension be a thorn in my back?
Do neither of us have a throat big enough to swallow our pride?
Did you think I'd cave in if I saw you cry?
That your tears would be my kryptonite?
Didn't I warn you against taking advice from your mom?
Has she ever been right?
I still think you're wrong but I cannot stand to sleep apart,
So I'll bring my pillow and humility,
And share a bed with you even if it's just for tonight.
I really hate it when we fight.
