Nuclear Breakdown

Welcoming each moment shared

Brief respites from our struggles

Symbiotic partnership

As through each day we juggle

Two countries without border checks

Careless words become the trigger

Sparking nuclear misunderstanding

Respond at once with vigour

Weaving through this labyrinth

This maze of misconception

Tread softly down the beaten path

That leads to your perception

Eggshells that are stood upon

Unseen till way too late

Shattering relationships

Turns love at once to hate
