Hahah right! She’s a rockstar.

Very relatable. I have been through this. Amazing poetry mu friend!

Thank you Chris!

The moment the fight begins turning into a way back to each other..? I hate how tender that is... cuz it knows an argument can be ugly and still have two people underneath it quietly reaching.

Thank you Asuka

I send you love❤🌸

Thank you, same to you

You captured an argument perfectly. Words like nectar, even when spewing.

Thank you Maria

And so it goes.

Ooooo, nice!

Thank you Amy

I read this the other day and thought I commented but I can't find it - my favorite line is "the din became a hymn." I like how it doesn't just flip into resolution but it feels like it's slowly morphing from the heat of the argument to calm, line by line.

Thank you Eric. It fascinates me that the same mechanisms we use to scream at one another: expulsion of breath, varying shape of our mouth, placement of the tongue...can create the most beautiful harmonies. The barrier between the two is one of context and choice

It makes me think how much power is available there.

I can relate as I'm often the neutral part in an arguing scene, where my heart longs only for calm honesty, even worse as often enough they're both right, only arguing because one is misunderstanding. Those cracks got deeper than I thought in the first place, and being a mediator is an unpaid job I have to relax from...

Thank you Daniela, it's a thankless role and one which recent personal experience has proven fruitless

Fruitless, that’s true. I can only plug off the weed, sort of, that is, putting up boundaries and a few necessary rules, the rest, I know where sweet fruit grows.

Wow, this really makes me think about how fast things can spiral when emotions are high, even when there’s still care underneath it.

Thank you Steena. The trick is to take a moment and realize it doesn't need to be like this

Wow. An argument never sounded so beautiful! 🤍✨

Thank you Penelope

My favorite one of yours so far!

Thank you 🙏🏻

I love how you made the argument feel like a storm that could still become a song. You captured the mess and the mercy of that shift perfectly. Beautiful and well done imagery.

Thank you JGW
