Dark heart
Onyx bruises
Madd lover
Entrapment fooling
Swollen lips
Teal tears
Indigo ears
Crying years


Violet prayers
In shelters
Only light
Love weathered
Emerald eyes
Need sleep
Courageous flight
Embracing peace...

Reality of Domestic Violence
I am silent although this monster
of my isolated life seems to hear
my thoughts, smell my fear and
taste my hate.
Suddenly I am pushed against
a wall gasping from utter pain.
Held by my neck I feel a fist
clashing against my tender face.
I fall, blood pours from my mouth
and...

Domestic Violence
We need to seriously talk about living in a dangerous predicament 
Where everything in your life is awry.
You won't win an argument.
It's no accident 
When a person receives a black eye.
We need to seriously talk about living in a dangerous predicament.
He wants to make you...

Her wedding day was beautiful, when she wed her beau,
Innocent and trusting, so little did she know
About the man who had stolen away her tender heart
And now wed to him she was, 'til death do they part.

The best wife she could be was her innermost...

Premium Member Cry No More

We all like to think that if we were the victims of domestic abuse we'd up and leave - but it's not always as easy or straightforward as that. Women stay with abusive partners for all kinds of reasons - they love them, they fear...

Gaslighting
Gaslighting

Your words are etched deep into my skin,
They must have hurt, these scars,
But you told me they were beautiful, 
And I believed you.

Your accusations have ripped my flesh in,
My brain and heart, are stored in your jars,
But you said I was safe and beautiful,
And I...

The Forgotten Legion of Rose Thorns
"The Forgotten Legion of Rose Thorns"



Reversing roll calls
the Anti-Hero 
jumps through 
burning hoops
instinctively

bathed in the magnum glow
designed to fire cartridges
with a kick like a field gun
a bloody victory 
is eventually won

lacking conventionality
novel and picaresque
placing bad apples and 
heads on walls for trophies 
with firm propensity

no...

Not Your Fault
It's not your fault he hurt you
that he made you feel so small 
A man should be a woman's strength 
And help her stand up tall 
It's not your fault he scared you 
and left bruises on your skin 
or told you not to speak...

Goodbye Memories
Launch the lecture,
tear me down 
to never build me up,
you couldn't build a wall
if a thousand bricks were around.
Time after time,
you watched me fall
as you pushed me over the ledge,
I watched your anger swell.
Living in your shadow
is my personal hell,
memories of a tomorrow
that never came,
I'll...

Behind Bars
Eff around 
And find out.
Freedom don’t come easy.
The steel bar resort
Ain’t no place to be,.
But, eff if I know,
I ain’t ever been to jail.
Should have been,
But I got lucky.
Toothpaste on the walls,
To hold up the memories.
Watch how you talk,
Or it’ll be your back against the...

Ptsd
I dont want to die
But i dont want to live
Atrocities done
I can not forgive
Let go of the past
Quit reliving the pain
Lies and betrayals 
Stuck deep in my brain
Emotions time warped
Again fresh and new
The questions rehashed
Everything I've gone through
Reach out your hand
Stay in the now
Break the...
