expected

You know how we sit in the two

front seats of my car

and how the windows are fogged by the water vapor of your mouth.

When a smile drags a lovely crevace

across my face

and when i lightly press my head against your chest to hear your

relaxed heart beat.

It's a cheer fest, spread the love like

it's a contagious virus! There is

enough for each individual!

But

The certainty of happiness

dissinegrates.

I look into your eyes and their

vibrance is gone.

You spit your sorrowful lies and deny

your existance,

like a child who dissagrees with the decisions of his parents.

Apologies pour out of your mouth like

wine,

rich and bitter, entoxicating with its

stale monotonous weep.

My fear overwhelms my ability to

speak as you punch and destroy

every little innocent thing,

like a demon, searching for its victim.

Your tears sit plump on your flaming

red cheeks

as you recap your mistakes and hold

the sign of regret.

Your heart returns it its natural state

and the chemicals in your brain stop

pulsing to your skull.

I finally manage to glance at your face

after staring doen at the laces of my

ragged shoes.

"I'm sorry", you say

"I'll never do that again, I promise".
