Like an enraged lioness
Her pride no longer intact
Licking the wounds you
Inflicted
Beating me to
Death with your apathy
Your detached and
Smug complacency
I tried desperately
To make you see
How that emotional
Atrophy was sucking
The life out of
You and me…

Destroying
Anything we might
Have held onto …

Your lack of feeling
Left me hurt and
Reeling unable to
Understand or
Comprehend
Your harsh decision
To remain in your
Self-enforced
Solitary confinement
Locking me out of
The cell I would have
Gladly shared if you
Hadn’t locked the door
Then swallowed
The key…

Without hesitation
I unleashed
Devastation
A veritable verbal
Commando packing
Her heavy duty ammo
Steel jacketed
Hollow pointed words
Guaranteed to
Annihilate on site
A clearly unarmed
Man unable to
Mount a decent
Defense against
A bloodied woman
Armed and …
… Dangerous…

Lashing out with
Little thought I
Aimed and took
My very best shot
Hitting you far
Below the belt
My verbal
Flame thrower
Smoking you
For every
Careless
Hurtful
Unthinking
Remark you’ve
Thrown my way…

I’ve always heard
If you can’t stand the heat
Stay out of the kitchen…

So perhaps you
Deserved
Every burn you got
But then again
Perhaps not
Maybe I set the
Fire too hot
Burning you up
With my good
Intentions…

Well it doesn't
Really matter
Any longer
The battle has
Ended with no
Wounds tended
or Mended
Both parties
Parties having
Gone up in
Flames …

Victims...
... of Emotional …
.......… Warfare …
