Poem of Hurt

Civil War

Your tugging at the strings of insecurity
Wrapping me in blankets of jealousy
Sew the needle with the thread
Patch this quilt with infidelity

You’re the queen of deception
Or I’ve deceived myself
Believing half truths Or unwritten rules
To be honored by your army

As commander and chief
you’ve replaced me for a social escapade
I quarrel with the idea of fighting for honesty
Because Honestly

Held against your front lines for so long
I’ve got empty clips to show you
Your battle plans were negligent
Though you’ve sacrificed to honor treaties

Your sacrifices lost you the war
And I’ve got the purple heart
To forgive and forget
So why start another war?
