No Way Out.

Fists felt heart deep,

Bruises to cover, afraid to sleep.

Blows cut like knives,

She feared for her life.

"It won't happen again, I love you" He said

As he held in his arms at night in bed.

He promised her once, a hundred times more,

It wasn't a relationship but a war.

Battle after battle, she never once won,

His abuse more powerful than a lethal gun.

Days to months, months to years,

Everyday there were more tears, more fear,

Until the day she chose to return to the earth

It breaks my heart she couldn't see her worth.
