Hitched

Nagging mate
                framing blame in accusations
Beliefs fed on
              self deception
Pressure valves bursting
Calm reason hijacked
No loveseat reception

Words peel off
             unfiltered
             unschooled
             unheard
             through spent thoughts
             of love
             complications in
             a jagged code of conduct

Toxic infusion
             a mate's cactus grin
             desert prickly
             an "I do" wasteland
             
Banter
              burly
              bitter
              black icing on a wedding cake

              ditched
              shifting possibility
