"Unkind Words"

Tears burn like acid.
Words cut like knives.
Passion burns like fire.
Lighting of anger strikes.
Rain of sadness is falling
As the fight carries on.
Neither side backs down
Until the crack of dawn.
A home is now broken.
She walks out the door.
Leaving them in the cold
On a trash-covered floor.
He picks up their child,
And leaves it all behind.
He drives out of state,
Despite her on his mind.
Tears burn like acid.
Words cut like knives.
Regret churning inside.
Still in love with his wife.
He makes his way home.
Finds her in the kitchen.
Speaks from his heart.
She cries as she listens.
A family almost torn
Is whole once again.
Their love was tested
With hatred and pain.
Many years have passed.
The bond remains strong
A home occupied by love.
Hearts filled with a song.
Tears burned like acid.
Words cut like knives.
Never were unkind words
Articulated in their lives.
