Rainy

Sticky floor at 2 a.m

We’re tripping over inside jokes

Laughing hard into our sleeves

So the neighbors don’t go woke

You spill truths with every sip

I spill jack on my old boots

We’re drunk and trying to be quiet

Failing in the cutest way we do

Drunk and trying to be quiet

Rainy

You’re my favorite riot

We talk our trash

We talk all night

Hearts on fire in the kitchen light

Drunk and trying to be quiet

But this kind of love runs loud inside

You roll eyes at everyone

I join in

Then we both grin

Shit talking like it’s sacred

Roasting all the hurt we’ve been in

Your heart’s soft under that armor

I see it every time you stay

When I’m spilled out on the carpet

You still choose to laugh and stay

Who else hears the crack in my jokes?

Who else stays when the bottle’s just smoke?

You tap my phone

“Hey

You’re not alone”

And the room feels

Almost like home
