Blast your music
to block out the noise.
Talk louder
to rule out his voice.
Be close-minded
and don't welcome suggestions.
Be interrogative,
but don't answer his questions.

Wow, what a relationship!
I see you both get along quite well.
With your lack of communication,
it must be going swell.
By the way you talk over and ignore him,
I can tell you love him a lot.
But he knows you only keep him around
because he's all that you've got.

She's gotten angry a couple times,
and hit you in the face.
But you've returned the favor,
so I guess that's okay.
You steal her money and jewelry
and have changed the locks on the doors.
You're the best man there could ever be;
you deserve a Boyfriend of the Year Award!

Wow, what a relationship!
I see you both get along quite well.
With your lack of respect for one another,
it must be going swell.
By the way you steal her money and kick her out,
she can't help but give you chance after chance.
But she knows you only let her back in
so that you can get in her pants.

What a beautiful, loveless relationship--
a nightmare come true.
A track record of violent, despicable acts
that can't possibly be acceptable to you.
I'm surprised you two are still together
and no one has walked out the door.
A cost-benefit analysis needs to be done;
you both must realize this isn't worth it anymore.


Crying and shouting
are a daily routine.
Somehow, you both continue
to wipe the slate clean.
Forgiveness is an understatement
in this situation.
Or is it just that you both
doubt your realizations?

Wow, what a relationship!
I see you both get along quite well.
With your stitched up gashes and emotional scars,
it must be going swell.
By the way you both bask in your depression,
everyone can tell you're happy together.
This coldhearted, abusive relationship
is something you both must truly treasure.

Very good raven, though I would add a syllable to the line, "it must e going swell." It fits the rhythm of the poem more, but its your poem, and you may include whatever you like. Very good poem.

I agree and unfortunately have seen several such relationships. How sad.
