Did I not tell you
When we were courting
That I needed more of a fighter
Someone ready
To show some action
Not pretending like everything is fine
When the heart is melting
Deep down breaking and hurting
Such pain should not be concealed
In feign smiles
Such bitterness can snare
Tomorrow's fate to be similar
I like how you express
This emotional pain
Like a good interpreter
Always turns it into audible
It's like security alarm
That signals approaching danger
Cautioning the next move
To stabilise the situation
I like your violence
But not you been violent
This little fight
That end into embraces
Little kisses then more kisses
Not overstretched fights
That can break heartstrings
Breaking such loosen bond

'Such bitterness can snare
Tomorrow's fate to be similar'..
indeed, dear Poet
a lot of us, curate the troubles
waiting for us tomorrow
by stubbornly, refusing
to learn from our mistakes, today
all
because we assume, intimacy
means another
doing what we think they will do
every time, when
initially what attracted us, was how
that individual, acted
like
an individual..
