Friendly Fire

Fearless fire burns outside the friendly line 
Your one love now must take its final bow 
Torching the truth the lie now our headline, 
not stopping for love not even a vow
It runs through a marriage a burning plough 

No skin nor sex can change its evil path 
Too late to find and set off the alarm
Regret and pain the end to its flame wrath, 
its burning light looks tender and so warm 
Touching the flame release a love pain storm

Dear James, sorry for the late response. Have been remiss in responding of late. Disdain is not an easy format but you have done this one perfectly and with such deep emotion. Great poem my friend. Betty
