Giving In

what a repulsive sight.

a loved one giving into the whims of every beck and call. 

give him a break.

its so well deserved.

the shouts, anger, and frustration 

just won't seem to stop. 

i plead for justice. 

let it be heard.

nothing seems fair.

but the shouts are echoing in my mind.

long after the storm stoped.

i still see the lightning flash as it moves away.

things seem so much more clear at a distance.

i tell him why the picture is wrong.

but he still shows no resistance.
