Intensity

Here it comes again

A giant hand to a gentle face

The slap breaks the tense silence

Burning red, the stain grows larger

Eyes lock in anger

Dull green meets fiery brown

Let the games begin

 

Shoved backwards, clawing at flesh

Pinned down once again

Let go and stand back up

Round after round

Neither side backing down

Bruised, battered, bleeding, the fight continues

 

Panting heavily

Muscles aching

One last chance to stop

We both know this will never end

Surprise

The hand comes down again, this time to the throat

Wide-eyed, gasping

A tap out

 

Once again, the loser and the winner

A thank you is in order

Dullness can be found no more

The fire was left in it's place

 

My hair was a mess

And there were bruises forming on my arms

You had cuts on your face

A dislocated joint to nurse

I was never more beautiful than I was at that moment to you

And I never cared for you since that moment either
