Grasping they used to

Stroke me

Up and down

Lovingly

Open they used to

Caress me

Tenderly on my

Body and my face

But put 18 months

Of love

Into them

4 or 5...

Stiff drinks

And reasons

Many

To be dissatisfied

Open they slap

Me

Surprising

My face

Clenched

They pummel me

As my love

They bruise and break
