She bruises easily
She cries suddenly for no reason
No reason that any other need see
Her cheek rests on the cool of the kitchen table
Anything else would be too much effort
She falls down stairs frequently
She hides her secrets in cisterns
Knives hold an unhealthy fascination for her
Blades and bottles, blood and bourbon
Draining, draining the beauty away
She headbutts his fists for fun
She needs to be taught a lesson
Perverted by language and by love
The sex is great but the rest is just a
Lonely fucking walk to the edge

disturbing and familiar somehow.

I can't think of another word than disturbing.

brutal and tragic, you certainly didn't pull your punches on this one, really good.

Hi Sonora :) like the user name :)
I like its simplicity and yes hard core but sadly all to much true of today's world.
At first though I could not understand if it was a man hitting a woman/ woman hitting a man or self harm but got it eventually lol.
Well done and on the cherry :)
Keep writing
Keep Smiling :)

Tremondous work.
The words you've written brings to mind for some reason Whitehouse's 'Why You Never Became A Dancer'
