Turning never tiring The wheel of dysfunction creaks Every inured joint screams Rusted seams and cracked walls leak Calloused hands poised to cause harm Biting words from screaming lips Heart oozing bilious hatred Broken bones and shattered minds inevitable Turning faster The wheel creaks louder Bruises once hidden in shame Now trophies to be admired Submission now a tool Fate no longer certain She appears to wish to please Her eyes cloak her true desire Turning slower The wheel has stopped A coroner zips a bag shut The murderer in custody smiles Fate has closed this chapter Not in the way you thought The abuser is in the body bag And his victim finally free No postmortem journey is rife |

wow what a poem. so disturbing with a twist at the end.the thought of someone being abused so much it drives them to murder to be free of their abuser. you can just about feel the pain they suffered and the relief they felt when it was finaly over. i loved it..... nice one |
