Love and War
	By SummersRain2

Your words like shrapnel, pierce the skin of my heart
Your tongue like a mammoth mechete
slice through the tender threads
that weave our love together
Unraveled and on the floor
you leave me in pieces as you walk out the door
~
Three days later, like a resurrected morning
you come again; thread to needle
ready to sew your words into my heart
Mercy mending, you look for a new start
and with a single kiss, you make my heart soar
and that's how it is in love and war
