Poetry: Domestic violence

by Hanna Joseff

Created on: November 17, 2010

The door's finally closed
Its silence is so peaceful
Hoping there will be no more abuse


The beatings are torturous
The wounds unbearable
Nothing much can be said


Waiting for the perfect solace
Praying with all the heart
That the beatings will finally stop


Spouses are supposed to love
Instead, the love is no longer there
The accusations, misunderstandings and a whole lot more


They are part of the whole domestic fiasco
This violence is getting out of hand
Trying with all the might, to forget and then move on
