SILENCE

SILENCE

A Poem by DBURKE

Bruised eyes hidden behind dark glass
Busted veins that will heal as time pass
Swollen lips with muffled words
Horrifying screams that nobody heard
Missing teeth scattered the floor
Blood from last week stains the door
Scratching his back “just leave me alone”
Blood in my panties, my dignity’s gone
Patches of hair, left in the hairbrush
White bandages where my ribs are crushed
I can not tell I don’t have the will
If he is caught, it's me he'd kill
Sweet unborn child in my body rest
Someone to protect me, I’m truly blessed
He cares for you, you unborn life
Because of you, he calls me wife
Still there is occasional slaps in the face
I walk with my head down I have lost face
He touches me, only loving you
He says he hope your eyes are blue
His hands on my stomach every day
Loving you baby in every way
His hands on my stomach every day
Revenge for me is in your DNA

Now that's a nice kick in the tail. The type of abuse you describe is all too common in this day and age, and I can never understand why women tolerate it. Men like that destroy your self esteem, as well as crippling your body. I take your point that he rules by fear - (If he is caught, it's me he'd kill) - but that's no reason to endure it. The thing to do is to get away, far away, and then put him in to the authorities. But your little DNA joke is precious!
