They shout
They fight
I close my eyes
Blocking out
The hate outside
They scream
They shout
I want to cry 
What kind of love is this?
And how can you take
This love-hate relationship?
She cries
He’s gone
She’s hurting
Bruised
Yet still she calls
Out to him
Why does he stay?
This love
It’s like a locked cage
There trapped
Like birds
Yet so unlike them
In the fact
Their not trying to escape
Screaming again
I hug my pillow tight
Tears streaming down my face

Yelling, shouting
I grab my brother’s hand
We walk outside
Free from the hate
For a little while
I wonder
Is all love like this?
And if so
Why does love exist?
Walking home
I promise when I love
It will be with all my heart
And I will never argue
And as I open the door
I close my eyes once more
Blocking out the hate outside
Dreaming of the love
I carry inside
