i. Your words
Acid drips from every syllable,
eating away at the soul
that I once gave you.
Bile rises,
and tempers flare,
still you're not through yet
Pain engulfs me,
taking away every
pleasant numbing
I worked to achieve.
ii. Your strikes
Fists pummel against skin,
tearing, ripping, scratching
hoping to kill.
My back hits the wall,
limbs and nails proceed to scar--
a body mangled by rage.
Glass breaks over bones,
blood trickles down the wound,
you just stare
iii. Your escape
Shock fills your eyes,
once lovely, another time malicious--
why so surprised?
You turn away,
disgusted at the sight,
no guilt radiating from your pores
I watch you go,
agony filling my already aching bones,
knowing I can't escape...
[but you can]

Written from a victims view point with no suggestion of hope at the end this is depressing to say the least, if it were true I would suggest councelling soonest.
