Words meant In the heat of an argument Hatred Insults said punishment sent Blow by Blow battle wounds cut deep Into the memory they creep The heart dangers stager Pain bleeds Wounded beyond compare I concede Anger rears it’s ugly head Below the Belt comments said Replaying the scene in my head We both say things we don’t mean Escalating tension to the extremes Inertia Building vile brings Retreat to separate rooms Tension A pit in my stomach looms Bubbling Burning Acid consumes I feel I’m going to be sick What just happened A Demond,  Satin’s evil trick One minute i’m in my own world happy Husband’s scrappy profanity, borderline insanity Husband yelling his phone doesn’t work berserk Hand in my face give me your phone his demand I misread the situation a wrong time to take a stand I didn’t ascertain his frustration, the lay of the land Mrs fixit hat on inadvertently I open a hornets nest I saw a teaching moment, decided put it to the test Mechanics What he did wrong, he could care less I stood my ground.
