Feeling the bitterness rising to your lips
Furious words from your mouth drips
Fuming, livid, irate emotions are the only sound
Affection, devotion, love no longer surrounds
Once full of respect with fireworks to thrill
Now Irritated, resentful rage is what we feel
Listening, watching chills me to the bone
Can’t inhale words once they’re blown
Unreasonable temper starts to fly
Sitting in silence, head down, exhaling a sigh
Hearing the intensity shatters my core
You won the battle but lost so much more
Revealing thoughts have passed your lips
Your needs surpassed mine in the eclipse

Yea it is. They do not answer their phone, dinner is ready, the car is not at the train station and then come drunk and start a fight and breaks things. It is crazy.

I don’t see this as an aggressive woman, or a fight that is started for a possible reward. I see this as frustration from a person whose capacity for love and understanding has been replaced by anger and discontent, perhaps disillusioned by the way the relationship had shifted. I’ve been there before, too. I think that the most important thing is to keep communications open. Sometimes the littlest thing gets blown out of proportion. Very well written, Carisa. I loved it! 💗💗

Perfectly portrayed.
And, this song goes with your thoughts perfectly.
I love this song.
Some years back, when I used to be furious, angry or impatient, I used to rap along with this song. That helped me settle my aggression.
Carisa, you are wise, smart !
