The Claws Of Verbal Abuse

Rating: 4.7


His words are weapons
Of destruction
Slowly killing
The dendrites of her mind
Slowly killing
Her hopes and dreams
Slowly killing
Her desire to live.

Verbal abuse is a silent killer, often unseen. The victim bears it to the detriment of his or her physical and mental well being and ultimately suffers from depression. 'Slowly killing Her desire to live' - this means that the verbal abuse has gone to the extreme and warrants immediate action to stop it.
