She Still Loves Him

He beats her body and bruises her face She still loves him He controls her mind and shatters her dreams She still loves him He starves her for days and locks her away She still loves him He lies to her and steals from her She still loves him No longer afraid No longer controlled He feels her slipping away The bruises are fading The pain is gone He feels her slipping away With all her strength With all her courage She boldly says “I don’t love you anymore”

Thank you so much. This poem was very hard for me to write. The girl in it is me so I was very shocked that I placed in the contest. I finally got the courage to share my poetry and hope to share all of them.
