Domestic Violence

You are better a divorcee, alive
               Than a loyal wife that could not survive
               Beating upon beating, arguments thrive.
             Over some things, strategic jokes deprive
          Of peace, trust issues make loyal days strive.
                    To cope of what such abuses derive-
                   How violence subsequently overdrive
              Pains more enough than body could revive.
                    Easily crying for cooling death's drive!
