Unwillingly forced into this position,
Unwelcome is my current dilemma,
Displeasure voiced still no one listens,
Causing ultimatums to be threatened.
It makes not a bit of sense or difference,
When chances given have no limit,
Or totally disregarding past offenses,
Why stop when it will just be forgiven.
A rekindled flame from years past,
Fooled again, same man, different mask,
Thinking this time it will definitely last,
Ignoring the monster hiding in the flask.
What began with loving blissful days,
Have become stressful long weeks,
Now wishing every second it will go away,
Minding what you say and how you speak.
Joy instantly replaced with nervous fear,
Even though the sign were always there,
Ignoring warnings you would not hear,
His wrath for which you must beware.
Slowly starting with a push or shove,
Next a slap that will lead to a punch,
Finally, strangling you with all his love,
As your larynx is unmercifully crushed.
In the midst of all the frenzied chaos,
Others present forced to bear witness,
For the moment friends will be lost,
While she stays, thinking she can fix it.
One day there will be no one around,
To stop what will surely be the end,
Her battered lifeless body found,
For reason we’ll never comprehend.
