Nice But Tough

Nice but tough, no need to be rough when it comes to reason... no shackles or prison. I spill out words to express anger, I don't have the intention of a foul... no bone to chew or flesh to maul as a pitbull would do for pleasure. I am looking for trust, and won't grieve over a loss... when loyalty is broken, no word can move a tired oxen. Be mad and expose my belligerence, I don't fight back but feel the offense... good friends honor their friendship, never leave someone on a stranded ship.
