You're ugly.


No.

You’re the ugly one,

With scotch tainting your breath

And shaky hands.

Coming home late;

Yelling.



I promise.


Always.

Every time is a letdown.

Too bad you can’t fix broken promises

The way you can fix a sink;

Easily.



I'm a soldier.


Yes.

But bravery you lack.

You hide behind the bottle,

Liquid courage for a man

Who really has none

At all



I love you.*


Really?

You say as you pour another glass

And spout more nonsense

About how you wish

You never had kids,

ever
