Battle of the Roses

Battle of the Roses

The seashore rages

A lonely night

Angry regrets

Memories flooding

Drinking after work

Tired, impatient

Hollering

Peace, quiet

Cursing cruelly

Screaming obscenities

Children hiding

Shaking, violently

Anger explodes

Shattering dishes

Chasing after her

I want to break her neck

Out of control

Pushing, shoving

Angry, spit spat

Slap

****

Scream

Slap

Crack

Scream

Silent tears

Unforgiving

Angry rant

Courage on fire

Broken nose

Fight back

Hushed children

Fitful sleep

Apologies, excuses

Beg, plead

Threats of divorce

Regrets flood

A Dozen red roses

Battle of the roses

Breaking my heart

Gone forever
