calmness during the silence.
finding peace in the violence.
he comes home to apologise
gifting her with a bouquet of black eyes
it is hard to think how it got this far without a split
but she was so blinded by the house he built…
she never noticed the locked door
did not realise her home would be the front line of a war
when they first met she was flattered that it was her he had picked
she immediately accepted the roses and ignored the thorns that pricked
he became possessive. it started with checking her phone
to the point where her home is no longer her safety zone
he demands that she obeys and says “okay”
she must do it with a smile or she will definitely pay
she will never hit back
but still he will attack
sometimes the words hurt more than his fists
more than a knife ever will from cutting wrists
endless what ifs
endless conflicts
it is easier to stay than ever leave
maybe she was too naive
he is an award winning actor for his on cue fake tears
“why would you leave me behind after all of these precious years”
now she dismisses the fact that he just beat her so hard that she saw stars
then she runs back to where she belongs. in his arms
calmness during the silence.
finding peace in the violence.
