Yells fill the air

Fist fly by

Some find their target in the form of a face

Insults hurled like cannons

His eyes fill with tears

He wants to stop this

But he needs her in his life

Violence is just something that comes along with this relationship

He’s disgusted with himself

He is sick of what he’s doing

Staying here with her

Only causing them both pain

Neither one of them want to look at their reflection

One because all they will see is a shell of who they used to be

The other because they will the monster they have become

Her eyes fill with tears

She wants to stop this

But she needs him in her life

Violence is just something that comes along with this relationship

She’s disgusted with herself
She is sick of what she’s doing

He walks out seeing their picture

Shattered just like their relationship

He walks out and leaves her behind

Hoping to never see her again

She runs after him

Seeing their picture

Shattered just like their relationship

She can’t take this

She needs him

Searching all their favorite places

She comes up empty

He’s gone

She only has herself to blame

All the yelling, punching and insults drove him away

He only has himself left

She took everything

Made him to the shell he was now

Maybe it was for the better

No more yelling, punching and insults

Maybe he can recover his heart

Find someone who will love him.

WIthout the violence.
