A strike of a hand, that whips it's flesh, as it cuts deep into her worn mesh.
The scars seep deep into her heart that bleed, to be pounded down, and never lead.
Her withered bones, bathed in dirt, as her raw skin blackens through her torn skirt.
She lay there disturbed, just waiting to die, for loving a man that will never try.
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, a beauty she was, to trust.

The crash of thunder, Keeps me awake. The flash of lightning, Makes me quake. Rain violently thrashes, Against my window. Shaking with fear, As the tears start to flow.
I will not wake up with you by my side. Without you here I do not have to hide. Your hands will not run through my hair. I will not wake up afraid of your stare. Your eyes are weak like elders bones.
The hurt she carries suffocates her so. Life for her is one that she can't let go. Her unhappiness is hidden from all eyes. Look deep enough, you will hear the cries.
This isn't love How do you act like everything is alright, Even after our huge fight. You sit there with your pint of beer.
Another piercing scream, Another SMACK sounds. An evil excuse of a man, Is giving his wife pounds. Next time she appears, Bruises flower on her face.
Inspired by @Fly10 post titled "Dark Water" Warning. It's a tough, emotional read.
#youngwritershousehold I fall to the floor, Walking towards the door I can't take it much more. I wish I could leave on wings I'd soar. Another cup of beer you pour.
Slowly coaxed out of my shell Where I had been so safe for years Then beaten, hurt and sent to hell A place of sorrow death and tears You did this.
@frozentunez ...Exactly!! A despicable action that unfortunately woman are subjected to. A life of violence is not life, but the fortunate ones release themselves from hell.ππ
@michga especially in the middle east where many consider it alright to beat a woman because of cultural norms and lack of respect for women. I pray they all get the punishment they deserve. Keep on writing! Words can be a way to spread an important message across :)
@michga brutal topic but so well written as usual! I'm covering this kind of thing in Feminism class at the minute so it's also really insightful from this perspective. Thank you :)
