NEVER AGAIN (Domestic violence)

NEVER AGAIN (Domestic violence)

There was a blank coldness

To his icy, dark stare

I knew this was the beginning

Of my worst nightmare

An icy chill washed over me

I knew something was terribly wrong

He yelled and came charging at me

I couldn't fight, he was too strong

I looked around for some way out

But he caught the scent of fear

He knocked me down and kicked me

Until the taste of blood and death were near

My neighbor saw the porch light on

She knew I was in trouble

She didn't waste any time

She called for help, on the double

The night they put you in the police car

I knew you'd be back for more

But I'll be waiting for you

Cuz baby; This is war

I thought he was a burglar; Officer

It was dark and I couldn't see

He came busting through the door, I shot

I thought he was going to kill me

I agree Charlotte, I understand spiritual warfare and it can be very hard to deal with! Thank you Charlotte!

Thank you John, for reading this poem, I know that the subject matter is not usually written about much and is difficult to read. I wrote this after my niece was nearly strangled to death by her boyfriend. Thanks again!
