There on the edge

a blanketed room quickly filled,

she stood there, fists at the ready.

Cheering to the punches

she squarely landed the blows

front page news, she was in love

and she took every possible chance

to bring her opponent down.

Looking in awe at the display

modern barbarism at play here

she was the winner at last

had the black eye to prove it

walking away arm in arm

she swore she could have gone on

tonight was the night

Love won.
