Tormented
Terrified
She snuggles with pain
Torture
Thrown
She is the main target
Trapped
Troubled
She relives the scene,
decorated with scars
Torn
Tender
She wears the bruises,
no makeup can disguise
He raises his fist
He strikes with superiority
He marks his territory
“No other man will love you”
She knows the pattern,
the thorns he spew
She places him on a throne,
and kneels in black and blue
He returns in regret
He whispers remorse
He vows to stop
“I love you, I won’t hurt you anymore”
She knows the patterns,
empty as those promises
She places him on a throne,
soothe his selfishness
If only she knew how to break through the chains
If only she knew, she holds a powerful weapon
Far greater than his fears and insecurities
Hidden deep within, an armor forge for her protection
She can tear through his deception
And reclaim her freedom
A plan to Escape
