In the family

Serve me a verse, stuff me with wit
Twist my arm backwards - it hurts just a bit
Nuances come out of meaning so well
But birds eye view truths reveal the hell
Sarcasm bites back - a dog in a cage
Voices get louder, reddened with rage
Open the valve and let out the tears
Fight back the flood with poison and sneers
Insisting I'm right - I'm gasping for air
Legs firmly coiled to the legs of this chair

But take a step back and take a deep breath
Recalculate viciousness - take back wished death
Don't you still love me? Don't I love you?
It's family bickering - we always get through.
