Beaten! Poem by PHUMLA KHANYILE
Beaten!
Swollen eyes
They did not see eye to eye
Bruises all over her arms
She could not bar the harm
Her screams echoed
To many ears heard
She wailed in fear
While begging in tears
She's been beaten
Beyond recognition
So lame is the reason
No logic in the excuses
Did he not claim to love
By his hands he harmed
He spilled her blood
As if she's not worth a dime
Beaten by him she loves
Ridiculed in the neighbors' eyes
How will she walk with pride?
They all heard her cries
Beaten with aggression
As if by hateful hands
How could this be by?
The one vowed to forever love
She is so scarred
In and out
Her faith shattered
She no longer trust love
She sees in half
With her swollen eyes
Her mouth is mum
He broke her jaws
