Cracked

He hits me without a care

And unknowingly I cry.

They say I should try and hit back, 

But he knows I wouldn't dare.


Wehn I scream, he hits me more. 

When I cry, he smiles. 

When I bleed, he laughs. 

He beats me as I fall to the floor. 


My vision swims, 

My stomach lunges, 

My breath is broken. 

This is the last time I let him win.


Tonight, I creep into his room.

He sleeps and sleeps. 

His breathing is normal.

It's then I stab him with the end of a broken broom. 


He wakes with a start, 

Voice drowned in his own blood. 

He's struggling to speak, call out for help. 

But, before he can, I twist it into his heart. 


A scream escapes his horrified lips, 

He looks at me in shock. 

He doesn't believe what I have done, 

He reaches for my hips...


I look at him with sorrowful eyes,

Then I remember the pain. 

The sting of his belt, 

The way he would smile at my pain.


Between the hurt and the joy, 

I laugh and cry. 

I never knew I could do such a deed,

Death is my shiney new toy. 


So now I leave him, still wearing blood soaked clothes

I wish I never was afraid. 

I wish he never hit me.

But murder was my only option, and that's what I chose. 

 

Once I was made of glass,

Though that was long ago.

It was when I was young,

It was before I cracked...


 

A Note to men who beat women:

 

Expect the unexpected. 

You never know how much she can endure,

If she chose to, she could end it all in an instant.

Take heed, you will not survive a womans wrath...
