Deep At Night (A Dark Insight)A Poem by {A}shley {B}lack @-;-A poem displaying domestic abuseDeep At Night (A Dark Insight) A few drinks, too many A stumbling mess The voice annoys him He tears the dress. This woman he loves Simply a pest Fist to the mouth Her love this will test. Awakening from sleep This child is scared, Screams still torture Memories impaired. Braving the stairs The father in view Afraid of the dark More afraid of you. She looks deep into his eyes The monster is here The lover departed Along comes the fear “Perhaps we should sleep?” Connects his right fist Perhaps she insulted Is there something she missed? He tore at her dress She can’t help but cry This rock to stand for her The marriage, the love, A LIE He looks as she drops Her head in the hands Begging to stop As another fist lands, Pulling away he glares in detest Raises his leg A boot to the chest. The child watches on Frozen by fear Mother still loves him This much is clear, Willing to make a stand Slowly rising to his feet Then the father gazes And accepts defeat. She fell to the floor One more attempt to beg Winded and heartbroken By the connecting leg, She looks up at her child The reason she stays Alone at night she closes her eyes Every night she prays. “save me and my child keep us by your side One day he will push too much But my love I cannot hide. He will be the death of me I know this all to well But I promised till death do us part I’m imprisoned by this man This home is my cell” He stares up at his child His blood, the heir to his name But hatred is all he reads from his face And only he is to blame, This series of events The beating he inflicted The hateful look in his sons eyes Leave him mentally afflicted. Another night in darkened memories And still these nights exist One day just push her far enough And your razor Will meet her wrist. © 2011 {A}shley {B}lack @-;-Author's Note
