Revenge

I feel his warmness on my arm
A thick liquid flowing 
My hand quenched with rage
Death permeates the air
My blouse stained in red
Too silent to be real
I slowly open my eyes
You will never hurt me again
Flashing lights of blue and red
Come to take me away
And all I can say…
He will never hurt me again
He will never hurt me again
He will never hurt me again…

Revenge but at what cost? I think many abused people don't care at that point though! Do you watch tv's REvenge, a new series? Maybe you would like it. It's great drama!!

Andrea, no - I've never seen the show. I really enjoyed the movie "Thelma and Louise" though. A very stong message. Perhaps I'll give REvenge a look - thanks.
