Battleworn and Broken

by e.h. - Libra

His hands raged
For hours
He sits now
On the couch
Eyes glazed
Trying to explain
I survey the
Damage
Chair thrown
Door kicked in
Bed turned over
T.V. Busted
Papers everywhere
Broken bottles 
All over the floor
Bloody nose
Bruised arm
Broken soul
I wonder how
I will clean it
Before my daughter
Wakes up
Even now
I am making 
Reasons to stay
He tells me
He's just not
Used to someone caring
And I'm wondering
When I finally won't
