Barbs land true in the night
fired behind vicious words
wrapped in silken bed linens
Cool tufted comforter caresses
bodies fueled by hurt and anger
spew poison darts meant to injure
Thorns imbed deep burrowing
past thick skinned barriers
beyond years built steel walls
Monsters hidden emerge
obscured by the face of one
once loved beyond all measure
Ties are pulled apart and broken
bonds unravel the ends burned
beyond a braiders healing abilities
Backs turn in anger
neither relinquishing the last word
the line is drawn and quartered
