Pain Without Words

Abuse

Her groanings can never be heard. Pain smothered in years of torment and tears.

Behind closed doors. A pain with no boundaries…felt by women rich or poor.

She is a shadow of a crazed man. He has blunted her thoughts, her opinions, her very being as a woman.

Silence he has demanded and reprimanded.

Her pain so heavy in heart. A pain she can’t put in words or explain.

A pain that makes her insane.

With pasted lips now and a broken spirit, her only hope is that one day she will find the “words” to say goodbye and run.
