Cold eyes stare at me
Eyes glistening with something
I stare at here blankly
Feeling something but knowing nothing
Her hand raises
I duck I know I should not
Her eyes flicker with joy
With the inner pain it’s clear I’ve got
She twists the knife a little deeper
With pursed lips I read what whispers say
Her smile cruely tears my apart
I must get out of this situation
I must escape and become smart
Yet for two years I was held
Held captive with lying smiles
Gracefully covering up wounds
Showing my bones against kitchen tiles
Neighbours ignored my pleading
To her family I was too kind
They knew what was happening in there
But their love for her made eyes blind
Two long years I wept at night
Too young to know of such things
It was four years ago she stood back
And watched me fall with broken wings
A spike through my heart she imbedded
Two broken ribs I had to hide
To my mother a lie to redeem her
I lived for two years with such easy lies
To this day I still defend her
Saying I deserved all the pain
But I swear as god is my witness
I won’t be in that position again!!
