Abuse
A Poem by
SarahCortland
abusive relationship that ended
The bruises
The bluff
The cuts
Arent they enough?
Your anger
Your fear
I'm listenning
I can hear
Your shouting
I'm crying
Your smacking
I keep lying
I'm on floor
your hitting
I'm begging
Your spitting
Am I not woth it?
Are you more?
Pleading doesn't help?
A swinging door.
A gun
please help me
a trigger pulled
blood for all to see
no funeral
no casket
no one to see
nothing but a basket
a girl
a life
one gone
but an end to stife
The bruises
The bluff
The cuts
Weren't they enough?
