His fiery eyes,
bulging with anger
stare through her pain and fear.
The poisonous drink
flows through his blackened heart
and urges him to hit.
His relentless hitting
only intensifies when she looks to his eyes.
Her body begins to crack and her heart
feels the anger
that the constant drinking
brings with it. Fearing
that soon she’ll no longer fear,
she begins to hit
back, but the drinking
allows his body to feel nothing. His eyes
reflect his enjoyment of angering
her defenseless heart.
His raging heart
realizes her fear.
The anger
boils as he hits
her weak body. Her eyes
watch him take another drink.
She rips the drink
from him. His heart
disappears. His eyes
darken with fear.
and he hits
her in anger.
She swells with anger.
His astonished face drinks
in what his hitting
has done to her heart.
He can’t help but fear
her piercing eyes.
Decades pass, his lonely eyes, now etched with anger,
contract fear. He sips his drink.
His drunken heart begs to hit.
