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. I didn’t back down.
I’ve shown you several times the error of your way
He did not want to hear a word I had to say

His frustration out of control, and I paid his toll
Tomorrow morning when we go back in the ring
The tactics are in my court what a level head brings
While it will be a new day filled with new things
He was drinking and not in his right mind

He never remembers anything hurtful unkind
But twists it back on me. What did You do?
What did You say to make me act that way?
An alcoholic doesn’t remember the next day
Not a relationship for the faint of heart to stay
Dilemma his words obliterate my wounded heart


Rationale
42 years together, lots of bad weather

What if one day we both go to sleep
But, one of us doesn’t wake up anymore .
It doesn’t really matter who’s was keeping score

Think about that a minute…

Life is too short to hold a grudge
Don’t let Pride run the show
It’s time to let the silly things go

Even if you’re the only one making concessions
Even if you never hear, apologies confessions
Even if you’re the one forgiving yet again
Trials and tribulations to transcend
Jesus teaches us to forgive
It’s part of our life lessons we live



BLT Webster’s word of the day challenge
9-29-25 obliterate
To obliterate something is to destroy it completely, so that nothing is left to destroy utterly all trace inclination or significance of it. It also means to remove utterly from recognition of memory.
