The Final Chapter~

'Never Again'
he uttered,
promising brighter days
and regrets laid to rest
on the shelf.

Meanwhile...
behind the book of recriminations,
shadowed by the best seller
of tempermental fits,
his angry words advanced
from the novel of ammunitions,
ceasing the flow of her poetry.

Trickling
from open wounds,
the rhyming weeps.

She should have taken cover
from the verbal fallout,
retreated to the bullet-ridden
wool on her bunk
but she never saw it coming.

Verbal abuse is just as damaging as physical, and difficult to recover from.
Your words paint very real images of a troubled situation.
Powerful writing!
