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
