Morning Light

She is curled up
on my couch,
a blanket clutched to her chin
like a child,
her feet exposed, bare.
Her eyes are puffy, red
remnants of the war
we waged last night
of matters so important
that we yelled, and screamed,
she cried,
I stonewalled and
she pleaded...
and the damndest thing,
as I see her here
in the morning light,
is I have to give in
because she was right.
