Cyclical Destruction

The Nature of the Relationship

A child

Unaware she is the eye of the storm

Beauty and grace

Absorbing the world around her

A child

Being led into the lions den

A woman

Sees the good inside the man

Wants him to see it too

Believes in a better future

It is always the last time

Everyone has flaws

A woman

Trapped by her heart

A child

Full of ambition

Wants to become just like daddy

Innocence and love

A child

Why does mommy cry

A man

Full of self loathing

Clings to her for his worth

What is wrong with her

Why does she stay with someone like me

A man

Fighting himself for love

But she is a casualty of war

A child

Becomes a woman

Sees the good inside the man

Longs for him to see it too

Believes in a better future

It is always the last time

Everyone has flaws

A child

Grows up to be just like mommy

She is a casualty of the war

Inside of him
