Bruised Knees
She hits the floor,
Bruised knees,
Can't take the abuse anymore,
She flashes back to life before,
Before the bruises,
His hands not around her neck anymore.
He tightens his grip around her neck,
Pushing her into the wall,
She screams for him to let go,
But he doesn't stop.
Emotionless he finally lets go,
She tries to move before he snaps,
He is faster this time,
Grabbing her arm he pulls her back,
The corner of the table and her body collide,
Her friend helps her to the couch.
He says he is sorry,
He didn't know what he was doing,
But she is done with his lies,
She gets up to leave but he grabs her leg,
She hits the floor,
Bruised knees,
Can't take the abuse,
Anymore.
He moves away and she forgets,
Until she gets the call.
He is coming back and wants to see her,
Now she relives it all.
She shakes in fear of the past,
Worried it will happen once again,
Then she can't try to forget,
Anymore.

Great piece Gina,
An unfortunate true reality that plays its way out, in many homes, in many countries, that need too be eradicated. Cowards are those that take pleasure in hurting, as you,(the perpetrator) say, a loved one or any one at all, for that matters.A taste of your own medicine and not medicine from any kind of bottle, but instead, that of the same pleasured deliverance, which you received from your onslaught of abuse, i too will feel, once you have been pushed around,pulled on and struck so violently with the hand by another.Then only will you feel the pain and degredation, that have been my companion, not by choice or pleasure but by neglect,harassment,looked down upon and last but truly not least, physically used as a punching bag..You have beaten and beaten, until their exist no more feeling for the one whom has done the beating...Sorry does not remove the torture and the brutal beatings, that the abuser has unleashed on his victim, it only adds to the already lost ground, that he's left with after each encounter...Sooner than later, he will have lost all ground and just as a statue, you keep chipping away and chipping away and eventually you are left with nothing but rubble, which is that, which you force the victim to ultimately feel for you the abuser, wasted emotions and you no longer having value in, and no longer wanting you a part of their life...... Much praise for your bringing this practice to the surface, for those without the courage to up lift their voice and their opinion out loud...
