Brutal is the Beast

POEM

You're 'Brutal' she cries, don't dent my pride.
That word cuts deep, agony and pain;
Misunderstood he recoils yet again.
Torrents flow, while he bleeds inside.

Not interested in excuses, she wildly screams.
I'm just being honest he frantically pleads;
I have committed no terrible deeds.
It falls on deaf ears, with vanishing dreams.

You're not just my lover, but forever a friend.
Remember the good, and banish the sad;
Hold onto all memories we're glad to have had.
Honey I will love you forever, this isnt the End.
