Invisible Scars


It started off as a mere squabble between the loving couple and built up momentum as both failed to 

 control their temper. Words were said that shocked them both. They made up a little later, but the 

 verbal exchange had made deep gashes. If only one of them had the wisdom to practice restraint..

    A thought provoking 55er. Many a times we say things in anger and regret later!

    True, words leave scar's deeper than any knife, as words can cut you to your very soul...

      Sadly, we let them loose in spite of knowing the after effects.

      I think there is no human who hasn't been there :) The key is how much we restraint we practice after doing it once and seeing the aftereffects.

    Such squables are very common in marital relations. Very aptly depicted.

    Anger and sharp words destroys the castle of marriage by leaving scars. The relationship though patched up , the scars are visible. Good 55er.

      Yes Vishal. Time does heal but the words take away a part of your trust and goodwill for the other ..

    Lovely take, Aarthy! It's always the unrestrained emotions that get unleashed in a harsh manner, bruising the soul.
