The Woman With No Name

The night drew closer,
  her fear began to spread-
  his abuse worsened....
                    playing games with her head-

"Why this wicked game?"
                   ....said the woman with no name.

A tormented life she led,
wishing she wore death instead-

"I drown in self-pity and shame..."
                   ....said the woman with no name.
