Last Hit

Hiding in the corner all alone
nobody sees it, nobody knows
she just sits there waiting,
for their next episode.
for nobody knows when hes about to explode.

she will cook him dinner,
she'll iron his clothes,
but nothings ever good enough

so here it goes, he hits her hard,
she begins to cry, but she cant leave him
we all wonder why

we all see the bruises,
we all hear the Lie's
but nobody feels all the pain she has inside
all the fear she tries to hide.

i love you is what he says,
says he'll never hit her again
stupidly she falls for the words of this devil.
weeks go by and every things fine,
she goes out shopping, starts enjoying her life.

one day he comes home early and dinners not made
he starts going mad, it starts all over again
this one was the worst, this one was the last
for now she's lying there lifeless, but still
the petrified look was on her face
frozen in a bloody state.

now her forbidden secrets have been let out
if only she told someone, before it was too late
so to anyone out there who suffers like this
get out now, tell someone quick.

    I like this, it's really good. The pictures created are vivid and I can almost feel, sense her pain. It's no fun (duh) to be in an abusive home, not fun at all.

    You brought out key points that many people, on the outside, miss. Like why can't she tell? (Btw, I am not sure if that '?' belongs there. I think if you keep it, there should be a comma before why. What you have seems more like a statement to me)

    Anywho, this is very well written.

    Good job,
    Ashley
