A vengeful love is a beautiful sacrifice.
When generosity is grudging suicide.
It makes the family frightened.
Confusion strikes both partners down.
They know what eachother wants, without making a sound.
As they fight...blood is shed.
Their hearts rub off black as lead.
They have been told to leave, but instead...
They stay together because they are sick in the head.

The author's comments:
This is for those who choose to fight through their rough relationships. Where they have intense feelings for one another. They love as much as they hate, but they will never part. They fight they grudge but never change.
