Disclaimer: The characters are JKR's. The inspiration came from Jordin Sparks' song: Battlefield.

A/N: Another perfect drabble of exactly 100 words! This one was written for Written Sparks' Lyrics Competition. Mine came from the above mentioned song: "I never meant to start a war/ You know I never wanna hurt you/ Don't even know what we're fighting for."

I decided to write about Ron and Hermione's marriage, because no relationship is perfect, and let's face it: the two of them had a history of arguing before getting romantically involved.

You choose whose perspective it's in. I would love to hear your opinions on that, actually.

Hope you enjoy!

It hurts. Every single time.

Not just the piercing words you shoot into my soul, but the ones I fire towards you, hoping to tear you down, blow you apart, shatter you completely.

Those weapons – my own – kill me more than anything you use.

But I throw them, time after time, without a thought as to why.

(But why? I love you. I know I do.)

When the exchange is over, when the battle ends, I lie in bed alone.

That's when I realize how much damage I caused.

To you.

To myself.

I never meant to.

I never do.
