It starts as something light and feathery.
No heavy, suffocating matter.
Something light and curious.

But then, over time it becomes stronger,
heavier, hard, hot, painful, suffocating.
So strong that it takes your breath away.

So horrifyingly magnificent,
that it causes you to cry out in shock.
It becomes dense and dark.

It becomes passionate.

The thing slowly killing you,
is a disease that many suffer through;
this Death is harsh, ugly and cruel in
many ways as it is soft, beautiful and caring.

It is a Death, a disease, called,

Love.
Afraid to fall to this disease,
because of the hardships awaiting me.

Why is it so hard to ask you if you like me?
So difficult to confess?
Why am I afraid of breaking this little thing we have,
for something better?
Is it because I'm not ready?
Is it because I'm afraid of rejection?
Or is it because of the fact that I see you walk that pretty girl
to her bus every day?
I don't know.
Confused on whether what we have is real or not.

Despite the fact that my
vision is blurred
from the intoxication
of the alcohol.

I scream in anger
as I see what look like
hickey marks on your
marked neck.

My vision's red in
rage as I notice
more, and more
marks similar  to those
on your body.

Who touched
you?

Are you
cheating
on me?

Why?

We LOVE eachother!

How dare you
betray me!

I don't even notice
the violence
as I lay my
hands on you. With
my hands in your
hair, dragging you to
our room.

I don't see the
tears staining your cheeks,
as my fist strikes you
over, and over,
and over again.

Nor as my
palm swipes across
that pained face.

I don't feel your
feeble attempts at
defending yourself. I don't
feel my hands unbuckle
my pants nor the way you
kick and scream
in desperation.

I don't see,
hear, or feel.
My mind's ****** up.
I can't think clearly.

The only thing I can
think about is
justice. You deserve
this. I'll erase
that man's marks with
my very own.

You cry in pain and
I don't even feel pleasure;
much less love.
I just want justice.
I want you to know how
it feels like to be
cheated on.

As the night leaves
and daybreak approaches,
I never realize that
those marks were
bruises nor do I
recognize them as my
own.

All I know is that
when I came home from
the bar,
vision blurred and
body swaying.
You had marks on you
that I didn't remember
putting on you.

And I probably won't
remember last
night just like the
night before.
This is from the point of view of an alcoholic husband.
