• He said he loved her
    She said she loved him
    Whatever happened?

    He's out
    Downing drink by drink
    She's at home
    Awaiting his violent eruption

    It gets loud
    Quiet
    Then there's noise
    Quiet

    He runs
    But doesn't get far
    She's on the floor downstairs
    Unmoving and lifeless

    And forever their child grows
    Alone
    Depressed
    But still alive
