Cutting

Jabberwocky

Her words cut us both
In their savage attack
Me on the forward stroke
Her on the back.

 

My blood on the floor
By all to be seen.
Hers in a future
she cannot redeem.

 

Words said in a moment
Can cut through a life;
Loose Gordian ties
Between man and wife.

    This cuts to the chase....... Good one J - kind of sad .... frustration makes us sometimes say things we wish we could stuff back in our mouths........

    • Jabberwocky

      Some things we say we can never come back from. That's the sad truth.
      Thanks
