10 To Life

Those erotic moves

She makes on the dance floor

Leaves him wanting

Wanting her more,

He goes to watch her perform

As much as he can

And hand in hand she takes him

To a private room

The moment heats up

Sets his emotions afire

Leaves him wanting

Wanting her even more,

She wants for nothing

That he makes sure of

Because in his mind

It is all about them

And only him

She truly loves,

Little did he know

She had what is called "regulars"

And he was told from others

That for years

He had not been her only lover,

When he approached her

He was not himself

He was in a total rage

And released it

From its cage,

She took quite a beating

Could't speak or walk when he was done

Her "regulars" came running to her side

And he ended up worse than she did 

But he deserved it all

And there were no witness to his defense

That he could call to stand by

And in the eyes of the jury

What was the verdict

They waited patiently

Guilty 

10 years to life 

He was sentenced...

In her eyes it was nothing compared

To what she endured

Every day of his life

She feels he should be tortured

The same way

He did to her on that day.

A twisted tale of a story not far from reality. Sad truth is that only one guilty party paid the price...

[Tarry Franck]

So true

I was confused....was about a violent attack? Strong message.

[Tarry Franck]

Yes violence! & Thank you

[A Soap Mess Stories]

That's what I thought.

As a Government Politics student I find this amazing, it's often rare to find a piece that has a real grabbing, passionate message, besides one of love..
I love your flow additionally, it accurately matches the theme, usually I do not take to end-stopping poetry but this really works, the lines
'They waited patiently
Guilty
Ten years to life' are punching in their snappy length!
Really enjoyed this, thanks. :)

Thank you

I feel that this is a very powerful poem with a very strong message. I am glad you wrote this. I wish that more times that not the person who actually committed the crime would actually get punished.

[Tarry Franck]

Thank you

[Coyote Poetry]

A very sad tale in the poem. I like the strength in the story. Create a situation with a bad ending. I like the ending. Would be nice to force the same punishment on bad people. Thank you for the excellent poem.

Gruesome tale, makes the reader uneasy, at least it did me. More of these b******s should get their just desserts in real life. Good read and ending to a subject usually swept under the carpet. Thanks for sharing this Tarry.

[Tarry Franck]

Thank you and I couldn't agree with you more.
