Reasons

I don't hit women
but I can be rough.
I don't call them bitches
or whores
but "honey" spoken
in a certain tone
gets my point across
just as easily.
I earned merit badges
for courtesy
but none in grace
and tact is something
I have in short supply.
I like the bite and burn
of whiskey
maybe more than I should
and my head still turns
to follow a pretty girl,
even when I know where I belong.
I drive too fast,
take too many risks,
I fight when no fight
is necessary.
I push people away
I hide from love,
I give her every reason
not to love me
and yet she does.
