Mood:
That night
He always told her,
how much he cared.
He always spoiled her,
with all those material things.
He promised he'd never hurt her,
in any way possible
He always protected her,
from everything else.
Until one day.
They talked about splitting up,
that she was not happy.
He wanted her to stay,
and made that quite clear.
But she insisted that she wanted to leave,
he told her she couldn't.
To prove his point,
he grabbed her by the hair.
He then hit her three times,
or so she thought.
Once the blood started dripping down her side,
she instantly knew different.
The terror of it all,
settled into her instantly.
Fearing she was going to die at his hands,
was the only thing on her mind.
Escaping death in any way she could,
which meant running as fast as she could.
While running away, she looks back,
only to find him following her.
There was only one thing she could muster to say,
once she was inside safe and sound.
She repeated these words endlessly,
"if he finds me, he'll kill me".
So every day since,
she lives her life in fear.
What if he gets out,
will she ever feel safe again?
