Endings

In the end we wrap our words around what we can.
Endings bring out the best
and the worst.
The first and
last word
both grappled for
in the end.

Endings bring out the best
and the worst.
It wouldn't be the first time
we've battled for the last word.
Both grappling, in the end, for something
to depend or end upon.

Endings mean we've both said the first
and the last word.
We've both failed to grasp
what
is being said.
In the end,
we wrap our words
around
and around.
