War
Homicide,
Suicide,
The murder of one,
Ends in the death of two.
An emotional assault,
A barrage,
An unrelenting torrent of blows,
The damage:
Irreparable.
A veil now covers the shared wounds,
Of love,
Of passion,
The façade of two,
So easily shredded by one.
Happiness once deep,
Now floats along the surface.
Clarity,
Confusion,
A new beginning,
A swift end.
If this is war,
Then let the knife begin.
