Arguments

words erupt from an inner world
of subconscious fear
things said that cannot be unsaid
repercussions accusations
love at risk of being undone
crushing
unnecessary painful with stings
of hurt and projection
out of place and perspective
daggers unsheathed
pointed at the heart of all hearts

booze does not have a favourable impact
the little devil is vile and unpalatable
loosens the tongues and spits venom

apologies make for another day
retrieve most of the poison
and the learning curve is out there 
all time for times to get better
