Line Gauthier Poet Free verse

Bitter Ugly

words of anger and bitterness
fester yet do not surface
emotions boiling over
through it all
she maintains her poker face
in the stench of his glare
and ugliness of his heart

the abuse and violation 
it’s all too much to bear
it’s all he spews
his days are numbered
the reign of transgression
soon to crumble
she dreams she prays
