Despite the Pain, a New Beginning
Pain litters the once joyful heart
Hurting every day.
Lies pile up constantly.
In the darkness of her bedroom
screams and cries no hears
cause agony and despair.
Her innocence is lost,
Lost like her trust.
Pain captures millions,
to hold on to forever.
His temper
so uncontrollable like a warm summer storm.
His icy grasp
uncooperative, uncaring,
knocks her forcefully
to the floor.
Their children asleep
in their bedrooms,
so afraid of daddy,
their laughter has ceased,
like silence that shouldn't be.
Tears fall like
rain on her cheeks.
Knowing he'll soon strike again
so she'll forgive him,
time and time again.
Amidst all the rainbow colored bruises
there is one piece of truth.
After all the abuse she takes
there's hope for her.
A new life without him.
Without him there
to hit her and make her cry.
Despite all the pain she's
endured there's a brand new
beginning for her and her children.
