Charity Khanyelei Poet Alliteration

Hurting

HURTING

He hit me again and this time I couldn't stop it, 
The last time he did it he promised he wouldn't do it again, 
So I believed him. 

Last night he choked me, 
I could feel my breathe slip out slowly,
I guess he stopped when he saw my eyes gorged out,
I couldn't stop it. 

Today morning he ripped my dress off, 
I could feel him thrust himself in and out as he beat the  out of me in between breaks,
I couldn't stop it. 

Am helpless, weak, terrified,
Am afraid that my son will wake up to my lifeless body, 
Am stuck, I can't stop it
