They fought, they yelled, but

They were not broken, just bent

True love in the flesh


Author's Note: This is my tenth day in the fifty-day song/lyric-based senryū challenge. Today, my poem is inspired by "Just Give Me a Reason" by P!nk, which you can listen to below. This was one of my mother's favorite songs because it reminded her of her relationship with my father, and I think that it captures their relationship perfectly. Their love will live on long after her death.
