Robin Davis Poet Rhyme

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

Sara Kendrick February 4, 2014 at 6:07 AM A work that expresses the terrible plight of those out there that end up in abusive relationships..It still happens today even though there are some new laws upon which one can depend..Writing about the topic reminds people of the fact that it stil happens..Thanks for the visit to my page..Sara

Kelly Deschler December 7, 2013 at 11:24 PM I hope this is just fiction and not reality. Unfortunately, this kind of abuse does happen, and it sometimes goes unnoticed. Yet, no one should ever have to live in fear of another human being. They should stand up for themselves and try to find help. This poem was very well expressed. I am sure that this was not any easy subject to write about. Great work, Robin!

Mark Peterson December 6, 2013 at 10:10 PM You have brought to light this enduring cowardice and matched it with the courage of your write. I hope this is third person and not first. In any case, bless you.
