Abuse

His fist is how he shows his love 
His tenderness fueled the angry shove
The bruises he leaves are signs that he cares
The kiss he gave after he pushed you down the stairs
His touch once so soft and sweet
Now feels like nails beneath your feet
All this is for you his wife
His final act of love will end your life
