He
HE
he ripped out his flesh for her to come to life
she wears his scars,
he knows his wounds through her body language
she scratched her back on the walls of his soul for safe passage.
he is down on his knees prayer a distant lands and stars,
his chest a temple of temper,her face a body of sacrifice.
he is broken man,his rage mimic the flow of volcano
her skin a snowflake,she keeps melting to her curses
he defied her marital verses,
her heart ripped out fatally like KANO.
MORTAL combat,he wipes dark floors with her ego
she keeps her silence hoping it will get better.
He comes with a smell of brewery,
to her the stench brings tragedy.
his son ,on the corner learning beatings by night
to practice by day,
always caught up starting a fight
for he thinks its the only way.
he keeps walking on her like like stairways up to lift his ego,
she covers her shame with make up,she does not know how
to let go,
he is a man and a man is broken.
