A Missed Poem
He didn't think it really mattered
Every time he beat and battered
His new wife with no regret
She was weak and had to let
Him get away with this abuse
Running away was no use
He had spies in every place
Every time they saw her face
He would drag her back again
It didn't matter where or when
Burns and bruises being hidden
And bite marks where she was bitten
Every minute so afraid
Another scar would soon be made
Shaking with a lonely quiver
When he's near she would shiver
From the coldness in his heart
Bringing another bad shot
To her fragile beaten bones
Praying he'd leave her alone
As this torture ends one day
And she soon passes away
From the final blow that hits
And a light is finally lit
That's a more peaceful existence
No more hurting or resistance
