her sunlight shaded with clouds burning love shuttered in pain. rainfalls pour down on her feet black widow spits in demon's face. broken mirror hangs in the wall she sees face dirty and old. pulling down tears one by one rinse the wound caused by his hands. she caves underground to feel the darkness composed herself while brokenhearted. wait for the morning to witness the sunlight free her mind to feel the long lost love. fiercefully, she ran through the door no regrets, left her home alone. blue and purple paintings on skin have gone when she dance in the rain.

Pain and anguish, enough to break a person down. Not all have the will or the courage to put a stop to it. Very expressive write, Aiyah. #7 ~ hugs // paul

abusive treatment has no place....in this world or any other space....now you can bully me, I encourage you to try....but you will experience an adverse consequence, I tell no lie.....the only way to stop any abuse is to confront it head on without fear....it works for me....;)
