She Still Loves Him

He beats her body and bruises her face
She still loves him
He controls her mind and shatters her dreams
She still loves him
He starves her for days and locks her away
She still loves him
He lies to her and steals from her
She still loves him

No longer afraid
No longer controlled
He feels her slipping away
The bruises are fading
The pain is gone
He feels her slipping away
With all her strength
With all her courage
She boldly says
“I don’t love you anymore”

Thank you so much. This poem was very hard for me to write. The girl in it is me so I was very shocked that I placed in the contest. I finally got the courage to share my poetry and hope to share all of them.
