Ritual of Lovers Quarrel

harsh words spoken in asbsence
of understanding
fear and pain, love and loss
screaming in the silences
love love love love
mouth wants to form the words
heart needs to believe
mind strives to taint them
Where does desire cower
in the face of desperation?
somewhere curled up crying
childs tears
alone in the darkness of hurts
long past and never healed
