A Killing
Taking someone's life__
no blades needed...
no guns needed...
just with words instead,
just with fists instead.
The victim left__
just left, for dead...
to bleed on the inside.
As the killer just sits back
and watches as she slowly dies.
A slow miserable death,
words cutting deep into her soul
like sharp knives piercing one's heart.
Dragging her down word by word,
shout by shout.
A killing of one's spirit,
fists just pounding over and over until
the beat is no longer in her heart.
Bruises left in place,
soon disappear on the outside...
But left for life on the inside.
But where's the evidence?
No proof in sight!
Just left for dead night after night.
The killer just gets away...
with the killing.
No gun.
No Knife.

Poetry: Domestic violence
Before I had realized what I was doing
I had instinctively opened the front door
In response to the ringing bell
Like
Circle of Violence
I look at the bruises on my face.
Bruises that I cannot possibly hide.
But there is no one to see them
Besides
She sits alone and smokes a cigarette
Long fingers gnarled and stained with nicotine
A life lived without love but no regret

The door's finally closed
Its silence is so peaceful
Hoping there will be no more abuse
The beatings are torturous
The wounds
The Tale of a Bruised Heart
There's nothing left to say,
The bruises and scars tell it all.
A hauntingly sad tale of tears
