Strength picked me up
every night I went down with denial
Courage surfaced
making sure my fractured heart
found healing
Every now and then
traces of doubt lingers
tripping up self esteem
but Patience waited
and provided a new day
Above all
the day realization hit me
was the last time
I ached with broken and battered
as both do not live here
...anymore.
Author notes
Broken & Battered
Her eyes danced dramatically,
as her body lay bruised and broken
like many times before.
Her once hazel eyes now harassed
to a tune of humiliation and hatred;
the fear upon her trembling lips
that only moved to betray the winds -
Momentary relapse, his cold gaze
grinning above her, taunting her tears -
the laughter laments her helplessness,
as she still hears his sadistic jeers.
She rolls over, a tear trickles tenderly
down her fractured face -
she slowly and shakily stands,
knowing no other option is left.
