Weapons

Lips, rest firmly on the trigger-

Blistered by thoughts, simmering there.

Frustration, igniting the fuse-

Fires words as bullets, through the air.

Like a dagger, tearing through flesh-

Words thrust, with malevolent force.

Echoed cries, of hollowed anger-

Later to bleed, with great remorse.

      Oh thank you! I made that awhile ago and never knew what to do with it. I thought it kinda worked for this post.

      Yes, I agree. I love it when things just sort of come together, particularly when you aren’t really planning for them to work out that way!
