The Argument - Poem
Sharp words slice through heart’s tender flesh
Sharp words slice through heart’s tender flesh
Anger plunging ever deeper
Serrated bitterness ripping and tearing
Chewing through until it divides
And disembowels the delicate life
And love seeps slowly
Into the scattered filth of what once was
Without a second glance
Love walks away
Trailing through the debris
Leaving behind
Empty foot prints
And only a shadow of beauty
Once strong and clear, now
Fades and struggles . . . for one last gasp
