Hit
As the body hit the wooden floor
he knew he'd gone to far!
Just as the argument had peaked
lashing out with his fist!
Walking out leaving her bleeding
when help she was needing.

Mercifully able to get on her feet
to sit on the leather seat.
Afraid that he would come back
not the first time he'd hit!
Always accepted he could get mad
realising now this was bad!

She started to shake shock had set in
the decision call the law!
Sounds from outside he was close
worried he was back for more!
As pain in her jaw began to gnaw
never before felt so sore!

He didn't care if she was dead
finding it hard to get out.
With urgency locking every door
aware he maybe too near!
Then the rear glass door smashed
through it her partner crashed!

Putting his hands around her neck
as two policemen came in.
He angry shouted she yelled back
the girl then lost consciousness.
Hours later alone in the hospital bed
first time in years without dread

How many women suffer prolonged abuse?

The Foureyed Poet.
Women have suffered horrendous abuse and yet they often are too afraid to leave! The Foureyed Poet.
