lovers at war

She tried to make a change
but he kept her within striking range
Everyone knew she had to get out
by the first, the second, the third knockout
Finally, her steps he mistook
as exile disguised as fluke
He never was the kind to let things go
nor allow others to grow
In the end he always wanted more
& she could never love as much as before
so he cut her wings before she could soar
& wiped fake tears when her body washup onshore
Wanna lace a working artist’s palm? Just clap.
