The Abusive Husband

Blackened and bruised she sits in a corner cowering and fears for her life her husband once again is on the rampage to beat up his wife The children scared and crying sent to their room scared and confused at their mother's impending doom She hears his heavy breathing and fearing for her life if only she had been smarter and never become his wife she can hear her children's muffled cries wishing she could hold them but if she makes one sound she knows that he will also hit them
