His hand landed hard against my face,
and yet I can still remember the taste,
of the blood that ran from my lip,
and into my mouth.
He shouted words of anger,
screamed as if were her fault.
"My mom didn't do."
I had swallowed my pride,
and forgot about protecting myself,
I couldn't watch him put her through this.
Tonight was the last night he would touch her.
Tonight was the night it all ended,
I heard her cry from her bedroom,
as she sit on the floor,
I spun him around.
His eyes red and I was furious enough,
I made a fist and swung,
my fist landed hard into his eye.
He shouted more mean words,
as he grabbed my wrist,
he hurt me so bad this time.
I lay on the floor,
unable to move,
I see an empty beer bottle.
I grab and pray,
"God give me strength and don't let him get up."
I found enough strength and struggled to my feet,
I called out his name and he turned around,
I swung it as hard as I could,
I had mixed emotions watching him fall to his knees.
In pain he lay there.
"Good for you." I thought.
I picked up the phone and called the police.
As I comforted my mom,
as her stream down her face,
she whispered words I will never forget,
"My dear, my brave young daughter, a women you've become. You've protected me, thank you."
"I love you mom, he got what he deserved."

For this not being finished it speaks out to me. I know this pain all to well, and this is a very powerful right. I wish some people in this world would understand that abuse is not right. I also like the flow to this, it was simply a wonderful and powerful write I must say. Great job and keep it up, enjoyed reading this.
