Barbed comments; from a beloved one
Can pierce to the heart of ones heart
Leaving no safety net to fall on
As its structure is ripped apart

They dim the light that brightly shone
Carried swift in a poisoned dart
Barbed comments; from a beloved one
Can pierce to the heart of ones heart

Knifed edged tongue spars derision
Words erupt in dramatic art
Rhetoric remarks sting and smart
Cutting right down to splintered bone
Barbed comments; from a beloved one
Can pierce to the heart of ones heart
