A burned word

In anger spoken
a letter broken
torn and shred
and set afire.

The words now gone
the damage done
no stay or defence
from the brand of liar.

A heated word
a world of hurt
from a bush of thorns
into a patch of briars.

Spoken and written
the letters have bitten
turned to ashes
on a smouldering pyre.
