The blood drips from his hands onto my face,
As it drips down, i look up,
The blurred sight startles me,
Thump, thump,
He attacks again
"It's all your fault", he screams and spits at me
He paces up and down,
Shouting and hurling abuse at me
Thump, thump, thump,
My body's numb
i can't scream,
i can't cry,
He pulls me up against the wall by my throat
pulls my now lifeless body close
and whispers "do you love me?"
My stomach in my pressed against throat,
As i struggle to speak
He shakes my defenseless body and spits "well"
Blood pours from my now open mouth
I cower away and almost silently whisper "yes",
He slams my weak and powerless body to the floor,
And quickly disappears out of my room
Slamming the door behind him
"it's over" i say to myself with a sigh of relief
I struggle to my feet and cradle my aching ribs
As i sneak across the hall to the bathroom
I start to clean my bleeding wounds
With an old t-shirt I'd hidden under the bath
Bang, bang, bang,
I jump out of my skin thinking he was coming back for more
Then i heard the front door
I prayed to god it was my mum,
I heard his soft voice chatting at the door,
like he'd just been sat watching TV,
Ans as usual god wasn't listening,
As i heard a really deep husky voice,
Walking through to the living room,
I quickly and gently wipe my face and body,
To hurry back to my room,
Slowly climbing into bed i cuddle Charlie close
When i begin to cry,
I would never give him the satisfaction of seeing me cry,
"Kim", he shouts
In such a friendly way it was scary
A shiver ran down my spine,
Which made my whole body tense,
I almost cried out from the shock of pain,
As i slowly got out of bed and walked onto the landing
My mind was racing
All i could think, it's not over!
"Can you come down please darling",
In that warm tone, that scarred me to death,
I was so confused, and terrified
My whole body was quivering.
I've been trying to write this poem for years and is still nowhere near completed, but i would appreciate your opinions on it, i will return the favor, thanks. xx
