A blackened eye
Her little lie
A broken rib
his little fib

A bruised back
the bags packed
A broken nose
the blood flows
A broken wrist
a chance missed

Out the door
Hit the floor
Begging and pleading
she gets her beating

He goes to the bar
and goes to far
He starts to cry
as she begins to die...

Whoa!! Sad to say but I know how *she* feels. Good pattern though. And very well written.

I'm relatively new to this and thanks for letting me know this world in touch. Beautiful work, it made me think... gave me a feeling of sorrow...

Needless to say some find themselves trapped in situations such as this...
and the way out may seem like a maze but many have found the way...James

Nice job of bringing the feeling through in this one.

He starts to cry
As she begins to die.

(quoted this from memory so if it is incorrect I apologize.)

It seems we never realize what it is that we are doing until it is to late to take it back. In this piece that seems to be the case. Tragic but well done.

Welcome to passions...domestic violence is a difficult issue but you painted a pretty stark portrait of the reality of it. Welcome to passions...check you e mail for a special greeting.

I like this but I don't like it. I love the way it is written you have done a great job. The part i don't like is what it is written about. It is a crying shame that this goes on. Sorry if I got carried away. IT is a wonderful write.
