Free..

&& she sits there tired and alone
waiting by the phone
for a call that'll never come
he's out late again
well, there's no telling when he'll be home then
as she sits there...she wishes..maybe...he's through with this hear of mine..
she's tired any way
even her scars have bruises and they never seem to fade.
she wishes someone could just take her away.
to another time another place
somewhere without pain
where she can live without shame.
.................D**n....................
she hears the door slam
she runs to their bed, lays down, and pretends to sleep.
hoping he will let her be.
but knowing the pain will come.. and it will be deep.
clomp, clomp.........clomp.
she can hear his feet.
she hears the door creak. open . shut.
she braces herself..
as his fist hit her like a million knives..stabbing her all at once.
he knocks her to the floor, grabs her up by her collar and rams her into the door.
he holds her there, against the door, his hands around her throat..
she cant take it anymore.
tighter and tighter his hands get .. he can feel her choke.
................................................................................
she lets herself go...
to another time another place.
somewhere without pain
where she can live without shame.
where her bruises and scars fade.
she feels so relieved.
she just can not believe.
she made it.
to the place where she can fly on angels wings.
and never worry about anything
finally she was free.

    I thought it was very good, but i agree with Marian, the universal thought isnt something much people read about because it doesnt interest them.but this particular peice was very captivating. and it was longer than your usual and the ending was just beautiful, 5/5

    Though I particularly am not keen with the poem's universal thought, this work somehow managed to get a hold of my attention throughout. In fact, I find this piece quite endearing and too heartrending for me to read. It even tugged my heart and soul. Furthermore, the emotions you've integrated certainly do a significant role, which--in my own view--is one of the major highlights of this piece.

    On the contrary, the enhancement of certain technical aspects, such as the poem's structure and grammar usage, is rendered necessary at this point, in order to better this work. But, even then, this is a fine piece on the whole. Thanks for sharing. ~Marian
