Seven of Swords (Reversed)

LET’S MAKE THE BEST OF A BAD SITUATION
by miss macross

we can only see each other from
4 to 6 on weekdays

(before he comes home from work)
(before the yelling)

but that still means
$3 burgers on Tuesdays,
trivia on Thursdays,
your hands pulling me
into the alley behind
the pub for one last kiss,
every single day.
