If you throw stones at my window, I will not hesitate to throw them back at yours

In the heat of the moment,  
voices rise like flames,  
when I scream,  
your echo bounces back,  
sharp and fiery,  
but what do we gain?  

A chorus of chaos,  
words lost in the noise,  
each shout a wall,  
piling higher, dividing us,  
not a bridge to understanding,  
but a gulf of frustration.  

In the clash of our tempers,  
the resolution slips away,  
like smoke in the air,  
untouchable, elusive,  
leaving only silence,  
heavy with what remains unspoken.  

Can we find calm in the storm?  
A moment to breathe,  
to share instead of shatter,  
to listen rather than lash out,  
to turn down the volume,  
and meet in the quiet?  

For in the stillness,  
we might just find  
the words that can heal,  
the compassion that connects,  
resolving the argument  
before it even begins.
