cycle of violence is messed up.

but, darling, it’s not fair.

hurt is meant to be shared.

you mean to leave me alone?

to let me drown on my own?

you need to see my side of the story.

those who don’t know pain will never understand glory.

no need to be scared,

sounds worse when you’ve never been there.

I can show you the way,

get you drunk on this pain.

turns me on to see you tremble

- you can feel it too if you want - 

think of it as a rental

pass it along and enjoy the fun.

that’s the beauty of violence

no one’s ever out of reach

we can always share power.

you take, you give

instant relief.

Very nice use of words and thought dear poet.
"that’s the beauty of violence
no one’s ever out of reach
we can always share power.
you take, you give
instant relief."
I adored the above lines. I agree. You take and you give. Thank you for sharing the outstanding poetry.

I love your use of paradox in your piece. It allows your readers to see the point of view of people who hurt people and the ones whom the pain is actually being inflicted on. It takes a twisted type of mind to see "the beauty in violence" and being turned on as someone trembles. It is truly an exceptional piece that portrays the cycle of violence and betrayal. As they say, "hurt people, hurts people."

we share love and we share the pain that`s what love is

Indeed, the cycle of violence is messed up. One might conclude the speaker here is a sadomasochistic psychopath, but the tone is actually satirical. The work does a good job of showing how ridiculously horrible
violent relationships can be.
