Whiplash

Arguments flare—both sides locked in a fight,
One harsh word sparks smirks out of spite.
No reassurance, just silence or deceit,
That’s not passion—it’s a slow defeat.

Unreasonable actions pave a path to a crash,
No accountability, just emotional whiplash.
Flaws on both sides we struggle to address,
Tangled in tension, drowning in stress.

I pause to reflect, thinking long and hard,
My heartbeat echoes, love’s old scars.
Patterns from my past trigger alarms,
Knots in my stomach, resisting your charm.

Mind spinning fast, my skin starts to shake,
I wonder if fate decides what love breaks.
Movement and silence, your mask starts to slip,
Truth always rises—it tightens its grip.

I’m stunned by how smooth the lies roll free,
You’ve taken the wind, the breath out of me.
Be My heart, my lungs—you hold them tight,
But leave me alone in the coldest of nights.

Why the avoidance? Why the solitude?
It hurt like hell—so yes, I had an attitude.
It’s like a jolt to the soul, sharp and severe,
A shockwave of numbness built from fear.

Time is the only medicine for this kind of ache,
Just thinking of it makes my whole body shake.
I’ve walked through pain too many times before,
Now anger stands guard where tears once poured.

In my head, I sort what’s real from fake,
Feeling unwanted—how much can one take?
I see the pendulum swing with every word you said,
Between your distance, the silence, the dread.

I’m teetering close to that final ledge,
Whispering prayers through this spiritual wedge.
Begging God to soften both our hearts,
Maybe—just maybe—that's where it starts.
