Hurting Woman
Hurting woman:
One of many
Battered, beaten, crying.
Full of pain
Inflicted by the one she loved.
Bruises, inward and outward,
Badges of her suffering.
Tears spilling over her cheeks
Punctuating her struggle
For a safe and full life.
Leaving the attacks behind,
But not the pain she endured...
That follows her wherever she goes.
Loneliness and fear her lonely companions
Ever since the one she loves turned on her.
Other men and women may surround her
But she knows they can never understand...
She avoids their gazes, their questions;
Blindly they go on by, not seeing the truth,
A truth she believes that only she knows.
He still hurts her;
Memories do the same.
Society's blind eye
Turned towards her
And her life of pain.
She's a part of the lost world
Where few understand.
She suffers his attacks
With no one else around.
Suddenly she runs free:
A new life to be found.
But early on she stumbles,
And crashes to the ground.
Her confidence dwindles,
Again it's almost lost.
Her pain's no longer visible,
But her soul knows its cost.
