Whenever your anger sparked, it pierced my heart
Leaving my soul agonised, wishing to depart.
Every single word felt like a dragger,
Giving me pain deep forever.
Why did our bond turn toxic; when did it all start?
Not once but myriad times, my heart fell apart
Tears often pooled my eyes as if never to part
I wondered every day, will this end ever,
Whenever your anger sparked.
Do you know any art?
To restore my broken heart,
I fear raising my voice and stutter
Was our relationship always so bitter?
No, it wasn’t; it penetrated like a dart
Whenever your anger sparked.
