No more...

By xPainfulTears

                                                            To what worth is my life
                                                        if I am to be forever haunted
                                                                   by the torment
                                                            of his caustic touch?

                                                                     "You're mine."
                           Those two cunning words repeating over and over in my head.
                                         I slid into a dark corner as if that would hide me.
                                                  What did I do to make him hate me so?                                                                                                            I cry to myself in deep, painful despair..                                                                                                     as I cradle my belly that holds my unborn child within.

                                                     "I'm so sorry..." I cry to my child,                                                                                                                                           "so sorry..."
                                                  I walked over to the balcony as I whispered;
                                                          "forgive me. I love you.."
                                                      
                                                              I tie the rope around my neck
                                                          and stand on the narrow ledge
                                                                  hoping there is a God.

                                                                           "No more."
