A Lovers Quarrel Poem by Harry J. Couchon Jr

Unkind words blindly spoken
Over some silly little thing
Faith and trust are broken
She gives you back your ring

Darling listen to me you plead
Her eyes becoming twin waterfalls
You hurt me you did indeed
Her sobs echo down the halls

The one thing you vowed never to do
Was to hurt this woman, this angel, your love
Now she's crying, all because of you
Just what the hell were you thinking of

With her every tear your heart is torn
How could you ever have done this
In your own eyes tears are born
Tears that before she would dry with a kiss

You reach out, but she avoids your embrace
Leave me alone, she says and she means it
Never before have you seen this look on her face
A voice inside says let's go, I quit

But you ignore that inner voice
With open arms you once again reach out
She looks at you and makes her choice
Trust and forgiveness is what this love's about

Your first fight, hopefully your last
A lovers quarrel can make a love grow strong
In each others arms, the anger has passed
Together the two of you will always belong
