The Sword of Betrayal

Mightier than the sword
Is the icy stare
Of a woman scorned

Her silence may slay 1000 men
As she locks the door to her wounded heart
Dragons dare not melt the ice

Robert Lindley Date: 5/6/2014 9:29:00 PM So few words yet so great insight! Took me over twenty years and too many heartbreaks to understand that a woman is a gentle creature until you foolishly cock her hammer and dare her to shoot. Both barrels then blast you to smithereens! I know after being blasted more than once in my long life!

Jake Ponce Date: 5/4/2014 6:54:00 AM This is very true. How you captured how most gals (even men) react to betrayal is fantastically graphic. Login to Reply Arthur Vaso Date: 5/5/2014 6:20:00 PM Thanks Jake much appreciated
