Because He Beats Me

                                Back I go into the den of tears
                                Splashing them across my face
                                  The ones I have shed before
                                           The memories
                     Some I have saved for years I this horrid place
                                 Standing still I await the blow
                              My head - My back - My abdomen
                                           Reality strikes
                                         It seems so slow
                                    I am paying for my sins
                              He loves me – He loves me not
                            Like picking pansies as they grow
                                   He chose me for this lot
                        The tender kiss soft as a butterfly’s wing
                             So special I feel when he’s near
                               Oh, how my heart does sing
                                Making up is romantic dew
                                     A glow beyond belief
                           Discolored speckled vision cleared
                                 It all boils down with grief
                            Like a Lassie runs I make my way
                                    A carpet for his feet
                              Bruises show a clotted flow
                                That fade well in a week… 
                                    I plot to steal away
                          Saving money for my future stay
                  He breaks my sofa – Says he’s take my life
                                 I am his come what may
                     Stored anger churns deep within my soul
                           Backdrop game of blissful years
           My bloodshed can never atone… Neither can the tears
                 For each mirror shows traces of healthy mane
                                   I return faithful in fear
                                          Unchanged
                                            Because
                                                He
                                            Beats Me

                                                                 - (c) Emily C. Archer
