One Too Many (Domestic Violence)

It is in the heart of Man to prey. Weak seeking weaker to make themselves strong. Rag dolls simper behind a clever line a silver tongue a Charmer’s charm. It’s all been done and yet we fall. Hook. Line. Sinker. Doe-eyed, we embrace the bright-eyed-winker. Searching for self in a snake’s charm. Ignore the Whisper we take his arm and pray Lord, do not let me be deceived. Do not lead me astray. Show me your will. All the while we are beguiled. Weaker still.
