Defensive Weapons

To spat is to spew
Walls go up, keep out
for that, blood you drew
Mouth shouldn’t have spout

Cold as ice remains
Words as weapons, kill
Souls never the same
Yet death comes not, still

Await kindness, not
Thoughtless always true
the battle is lost
Compassion eludes

Weapons from spiked tongues
Stabbed by deadly words
Hearts shattered, be done
It’s all so absurd

Defensive weapons
cut deep like steel knives
Speech roars and deafens
Left only goodbyes
