"Baby. come on, I was only kidding!"
But, for this blushing bride, it's already too late,
As the man she had come to love grabbed her by the throat
Only to slam her into the walls of their honeymoon suite.
Tightening his grip, the man repeated her quote.
"That kid at the desk was kind of cute."
Her dark eyes widen with terror suddenly,
Unable to rationalize with this abusive man.
Did he really believe such childish words to ring true?
With a racing heart and sweating palms, the woman slowly began.
"Cute with fear, hon'; he was nervious, that's all!"
In place of his words, he rears back is hand;
This enranged groom hasn't the heart to reply
To what his bride and cofident was so avidly speaking of.
So, blinded with jealousy, he tore at her left eye.
"How do you plan to see him now, you stupid whore?"
The woman screams in agony, dropping to bended knee,
But it's all the man can do to continue striking at her face,
Ignoring her pleas, her sobs, and the blood raining to the floor;
Laying in a fetal position, sobing, she hasn't the luxory of a loving embrace.
"Baby, I'm telling you, this is all just a mistake!"
Her sobs are quickly silenced by a massive blow to the head,
And smirking, her groom finally leaves her in peace
As he moved toward the bathroom slowly;
Would this be her final release?
"Now you're a proper wife -- quiet as a mouse."
He watches her carefully from the hallway,
Slowly licking the blood frim his twisted hands;
Yet, for this bleeding bride, there will be no quick wash away,
The pain burning across her will remain part of her perminate brands.
"...I loved you..."
Her right eye rolls backwards slowly
As the blood -- rich in texture -- continues to pool.
Soon he will call security; explain it away as drunken antics,
Leaving the beaten bride to wonder how she'd grown into such a fool.
Author notes
Riiiight. This was inspired by the link... either above or bewlow this box thing. I don't remember right now, heh'. But, yet. Click it to see what wonderful images inspired this! ♥
I know the flow in this is rather rough, but I think it adds to... the overall brutality of the poem? //Shrug.// That's what I think, at least... hopefully someone out there agrees with me. x3
I know this is a rather.. sad and tiwsted poem... and that I've not written one in a while -- not to this degree, at least. For any of my readers, I'm sorry if you're offended or anything like that... but know that this is NOT a personal reflection. This poem is strictlyyy.. inspired from said link.
Enjoy, my loves.

well this is definitely very dark, disturbing as well. you have taken the prompt and have given her a voice and a story behind it.
for me this brought back some painful memories of a past of physical abuse. one that is a memory and that can no longer hurt me, but still its there.
its amazing what inspires us to write what do. I'm not offended.. just jarred me a bit.
excellent take on the prompt
good luck

I understand what it's like to have a poem about abuse jar you a bit; I suffer the same reaction when reading over certain pieces of prose. And, I will admit, that this was a little difficult for me to write, given my past histories.
In any event, thank you for your kind words, as well as for hosting such a brilliant contest.

Lmao....My dear, you never cease to amaze me with what you can come up with. I knew you had a twisted mind, but I think I forgot just HOW twisted after so long of...you not writing much of anything...Lol.
This is simply amazing...grotesque, sad, horrible and twisted....it is...beautifully tragic.
Ahahaha....I'm glad Shar doesn't get THIS jealous.
Lmfao. I'm sorry, I just had to say that.

XD Lol. I was surprised myself. This kind of just... jumped out at me after I saw the picture. I was thinking of doing something where she did it to herself, feeling bad for having "indecent" thoughts about someone else, but I thought this one was a bit easier to write.
And, yeah... if Shar got this bad, I'd have to get him euthanized.

Lmfao. Good thing he just gets all emo then.
