This song has had me entranced, from the time I first heard it. I've never experienced physical violence in a relationship, a little bit of verbal maybe and alot of emotional but nothing like this is brought to mind. I was trawling through covers, on soundcloud, when I came across this:

It got me to question the dynamic. Write a poem on the dynamic, as seen by you, of the people in "Florence and the Machine's - Kiss With a Fist".

I'd prefer shorter poems. Two-Hundred words absolute max.
Two weeks(make it count).
Only new poetry.
Max four poems per poet.

The Thin Line of Passion and Fury

Enthusiasm in the infatuation  
Dedication to romance’s obsession  
 
Motivated by devoted wildness  
Encouraging wrath, matching madness  
 
An unrestrained fierceness sought  
Wounds of indignation matter not  
 
Untamed tempers fuelling craze  
Anger erupts, fury set ablaze  
 
Intense passions laced with rage  
Sentiments of violence to assuage  
 
Love’s fervour producing excitement  
Preferred to alone and discontent
 
 
Inspired by “Kiss with a Fist” Competition

PAINFULLY

Inspired By: Kiss With A Fist
 
Here I am asking as you slap me senseless...
 
How could anyone understand the spark that ignites?
That with every blood from a cut when we fight,
A passionate force tells us that it is alright?
Destructive, violent and not a pretty sight
Yet we love to hate with all our might.
 
You and I, we are two of a kind
To savour suffering is our best bind
So Baby, hit me, kick me, I won't mind
Give me a reason to scratch your hind,
Bite your tongue and render you blind!
 
Peace disguised in chaos and mayhem.
Why do we find pleasure in every  pain?
Both sated with each given stain
Drawn to each other, even in bane
By noxious malice, by blood, by disdain?
 
Waiting for answers while I bash your toe with a hammer....

Kissy Kissy

A kiss with a fist
You’re better with none
There’s rarely a time
When violence can be fun

A kiss with a fist
You could do without
This is meant to be a marriage
Not a fucking boxing bout

A kiss with a fist
Only offered by scum
Run away from the dick
And never succumb

A kiss with a fist
Is never alright
The men that do it
Clearly are shite

A kiss with a fist
You’ll end up black and blue
Two eyes like a panda
Aren’t cute to view

A kiss with a fisting
Is a different type of sting
Be sure you want to take it
Be sure that it’s your thing

Loving and Hating You

Back me up against the wall  
You just punched through  
Just moments ago with all  
Of your strength and anger. You  
Leave bruises behind in places  
People cannot be seeing. I want to go  
Back to being the one who traces  
Her fingers down your chest. You show  
Me all of your passion and pain.  
You now spend all of your days  
Apologizing for the tears that rain  
Down instead of your kisses. The rays  
Of sunshine and laughter fade  
Away. I am left with a gaping hole  
And finding a way through the thick glade.
Darling, we are no longer one soul  
Merged and being put together because we  
Are too broken. We are in too many pieces  
That are too far apart to see  
That my love for you only decreases.
