Wife Beating Poem by James Clive

Wife Beating

Rating: 5.0


The door slams
Hi honey im home
Last night is still vivid in her mind
Broken plates
Blood swirling down the sink
The bruising is still raw on her body
She feigns happiness
He will change
Someday

Paralyzed by fear she lives in delusion. Great poem. Heart breaking and all too true.
