Clenched Fists and Silent Tears

crouched in the corner her head is covered face blood smothered when the bruises fade their replaced with another she looks in the mirror with makeup she covers drops to her knees hangs her head and she cries each day that passes, another piece of her dies he sees her crying and calls her weak hits her hard, he's upped the tweak she hears the screams of her 5 year old son "daddy daddy stop! stop hitting mum"! but he doesn't listen it only fuels his rage so he hits her again like a dog in a cage her eyes are swollen her nose is broken she prays to God to give her a token a token of courage, for strength to walk away life is a burden she now faces every day fear is his partner, they now own her soul he has stolen her spirit, her life he controls clumps of her hair lay scattered on the floor she cant breathe, she cant fight anymore her broken bones they hurt blood stains on her shirt his taunts and nasty words scarred in her mind how could love ever have been so blind? once a strong woman now broken and numb she now looks at the woman he has made her become and so all the love she gave slowly fades away she's gotta say goodbye before she dies inside all the love she gave now replaced with hate her scars are torn apart just like her broken heart she looks at her son, sees the tears in his eyes and comforts her boy, then together they cry

Sabrina, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@

thankyou so much, you made me smile by saying you will read my poems as yes, most of them are very deep and sad because I have had a lot of negative and sad situations in my life that have affected me in a way that the only healing I get now is to express through writing. I will certainly look at your poems and am happy to have you as my poetry friend xx

Welcome to Soup, Sabrina. A very intense poem. You had me routing for her... I think it is a strong poem, but it ends with her crying. I wonder what would happen if you took the last four lines and moved them up under "before she dies inside//her scars are torn apart ...then together they cry//all her love she gave//now replaced with hate. You could even give it to more lines... maybe something about finding strength. I know from experience it is hard to leave. Writing helps...
