Domestic Abuse

You put your fist into my side,
And your hand over my face,
I can no longer hide,
Not being able to breath or taste,
Your eyes raged in terror,
I don’t know what to do
You don’t seem to be here,
You've turned me into such a fool
Why would you hurt me?
You said it would end,
Why would you hit me?
I couldn't even defend.
