Violent Love

I come home late one night and you're sitting on the couch
Said you had been waiting for me
You said if it was true then I would regret it
So I stayed quiet in fear of another beating
I'm oh so tired and just want to get to bed tonight
Without another argument
Save that for tomorrow
I walk up the stairs
You grab me by the arm
Fire in your eyes
Smell of liquor upon your breath
Daggers of hatred get thrown at me
I tremble as I ask what could I have done this time
You've been told about the pregnancy
You were told that I am leaving you
The memories of abuse have taken their toll
Your hand comes down
Striking my cheek, I fall down the few stairs left
As your foot comes crashing into my stomach
My head hits the wall
The last thing I remember is you saying never again
As my world turns icy black
When I awaken I'm not sure what happened
All I know is that I am lying here in this white room screaming in pain and anguish
As they tell me the baby did not survive
My life is done
I want nothing more than to die
I scream once more as everything fades
I walk into the light and kiss this world good-bye

A goodbye that one hopes never to have to meet. This is perfect, the perfect image of how terrible this situation can be and how hard it can be to live with. A wonderful piece of writing even with the very sad topic.
