Tonight’ s Argument
by Anna Stuart
It is a brazen word you carve
into the air tonight.
Your vocabulary abruptly
shatters all my arguments.
I lose my strong hold
of stubborn justifications.
“I love you no matter what.”
flies across the room
hitting me harder than
I ever dreamed any words would.
I surrender knowing I lost the argument
but still have won you.
Anna Stuart lives and writes in New Jersey.
