how do you tell him
he pushes too hard
when theyre hands tremble
and they smile crushed smiles
all the while quailing silently beneath him

to love him is to know him
and that he means no harm
but he is a brute, and a bully
and he pulls your pain out from the root
in a braying drunken bravado

sounds exactly like my father
only he DID mean harm
for it was his power and his aphrodisiac
and he still does mean harm
only without the alcohol now
and he calls it all a simple joke
but no one is laughing save him

i am, so sorry for your pain
and so relived that mine was fleeting
leaving only the bitter aftertaste of
shame to remind me of the nights events
