At each others throats in another fight,
Each one wanting to prove their right.
It always seems to go the same,
Just a conflict that has no aim.
She screams about how he drinks,
He yells about how she winks.
Now the accusations are being thrown,
The pent up anger is being shown.
She slaps him hard across the face,
Hearts pound at a furious pace.
He throws her back into the wall,
A glass framed picture starts to fall.
The picture's smiles drop away,
Along with hopes for a better day.
Watch it drop and hit the ground,
Cringe at that explosive sound.
But they don't notice the shards fly,
And they don't hear the child's cry.

- Description: I wrote this 8 days ago on the wings of inspiration, and so far the few people I've shown it to have said "Wow". I was told i managed to capture the feeling of the situation fairly well, but i'll let you be the judge of how well i captured it.

I liked it a lot. =) It a very visual piece. ^___^ Really enjoyed it 5-5. I know your comfort zone is the aa bb format of writing, but I would suggest you to try something else. See if you can come up with poetry on a different rhythm.
