Eyes, far from reality,
Searching deep within
Her joyous soul.
She could not win.
His gentle arms
Encompassed her.
"He's the one."
She was sure.
Months gone by
And now engaged.
He soon became
Too easily enraged.
His blows would hurt.
She could not hide,
But to him
She did abide.
Now he gazed
At her blank stare.
One last harsh blow
Did she bear.
