I sit here all alone in my dark 200, 000 dollar house stare blankly at the television without blinking I hear the water running in the restroom the smell of blood fills my nostrils I committed a crime without thinking out of rage and pain I committed an unforgivable sin hopefully you will understand his blood stains my hands I gag the stench burns my eyes and I start to cry again I fiddle with a strand of my hair and bite on my lower lip place my hand on the bruise that covered my hip the lights flashed outside and I began to think about the baby and how little she was and how innocent she will be unlike me no one knew what happen and I don't think that they cared they just stared at the bruises and ignored my cries for help I hid the pain behind sunshades and a fake smile that fooled almost everyone I am silent I don’t try and run when I hear the police at the door nor do I get up I just continue to stare at the TV they break open the door and rush over to me my lip is cut and my body is battered I hear the man say that he is dead good that’s very good I don’t say anything I just sit there motionless and hum a lullaby The police officer walks over to me and tells to come with him He helps me up and places a blanket over my bruised shoulders the wind is silent and the night had grown colder He carefully placed me in the back of the car and I touched my tender belly I felt the baby kick I closed my eyes and rested my head on the seat I watched as they brought the body out tears roll down my cheeks as I whisper to you its over now
Reason for writing:
I didn't write this from real life not my life anyway I was watching this movie on lifetime and it made me realize how sad spousal abuse really is.
