Voices Within

Voices screamming, Doors are slamming, glass is braking and I'm shaking.

Pieces of my broken heart lay scattered on the floor. This is all too familiar I've been through this before.

The bruise on my skin will heal in time, the bruise on my heart will stay bruised in my mind.

I lay awake in the night the harsh words from our violent fight runs through my head, I toss and turn scared to death.

I know I have to leave but where will I go? There is noone to help me.

The pain is too much there isn't a place on my skin that can be touched without a bruise from his short fuse.

I feel like giving up there is just no use. He has me trapped with his abuse.

As I wipe a bloodied tear from my beaten and battered face I try to break free from his dangerous embrace.

I know if I leave he will kill me.

if I stay I know it will be no differently. The voices within guide me. I can barely breathe. I have the chance finally, finally I can leave.
