emotional warfare
romantic battlefields
lying in the bushes to
cheat on those who steal
poetic vitriol
land mines of charm
asking for one’s hand
is a call to take arms
stuck in the trenches
of what was said before
getting engaged
to declaring civil war
bombing pearl harbors
with blue diamond rings
taffeta armor
the only cut that stings
nuclear fallout
is there another kind
it’s so nice to be good
it’s so hard to be unkind
the one you love the most
will invade your sandy beach
an unholy axis
is yours to always keep
pre-nup divisions
separate armored cars
what you didn’t bring in
is now all you are
the emperor resigns
the queen abdicates
emotional warfare
soon will be our fate
