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 Charity Khanyelei
