Petty

A festive feast of aired grievances 
faces maroon  and out of control;
Screams breed battered appearances,
this moment our tempers just stole;

Releasing all that tension with a kiss 
now we are locked in a wild explosion;
A fine line between livid and bliss 
in the end teeth, nails, and devotion;

Go on baby and let it all out 
now let your fire burn all over me;
We’ll dig into each other and shout 
nipping away all that is petty.
