Shattered glass

On the floor

A broken reflection

Nothing more

 

Black and blue

Along my arm

From the one

Who promised no harm

 

Tears pooling

On the bed

In rememberance

Of what was said

 

The wedding band

On the floor

Glistening brightly

cherished no more

 

Where they sleep

My prison lies

When we meet

My will dies

 

Their fists

My hugs

Their threats

My kisses

 

Sleepless nights

Dreaded days

Staying strong

The price it pays
