EMOTIONAL SHRAPNEL

EMOTIONAL SHRAPNEL Once that argument fuse has been lit One waits for that inevitable explosion The blast summoning the first emotion But so painful after the shrapnel has hit One feels as if life has been torn apart And little comfort that one might find It’s someone digging deep in the mind With rubble sent directly to the heart The shrapnel is all the promises broken The shattered casings of what was trust Knowing that being wounded is unjust It’s the sound of a bomb having spoken
