So Many Concerns

Made a lane change in the argument
Slight miscalculation of what was said
Saw the fist making it’s usual descent
Punches connected like bolts of dread

Rage always seems to claim her face
Light is eclipsed in transforming eyes
The calm before the darkest embrace
When she removes her normal disguise

Soon all the anger will go into remission
Ride out the storm until reason returns
Knowing how to remedy this condition
Her love comes with so many concerns

Author's Note
Late night musing. My brother is a good man. That being said he dated one woman that was violent and would randomly explode into fits and punch him. He would have to ride out the storm by, blocking, weaving, and basically bear-hugging her till she ran out of steam. He never struck her in anyway, and I witnessed a couple when they were living with me for a bit. Luckily he didn't end up with her, although he did have to relocate to another State for about six months. It's very real, folks. And most guys say nothing because of ridicule and not being believed by authorities. I've seen cases where men have got messed up or killed. Appreciate you.
