Split Wide Open

My, oh my 
how sharp is the tongue?
I curse you retaliation!
I've become short of luck! 

I never knew the difference
Where do I draw the line?
What should I not tell
and what should I not hide? 

Thrown off by words I spat,
as I drown in my own debt.
Falling in love is easy, 
Falling out is a threat.
