Beaten
As she fell, she felt a searing pain
 
 Her pride and her body slain
 
 His words, his touch all hurt the same
 
 She felt it was her words to blame
 
 The children cried
 
 Her will to fight had already died
 
 She stood up slowly and ran away
 
 She couldn't stand another day
 
 Empty inside, emotions gone
 
 Mommy's crying went on and on
 
 Drained of blood
 
 She'd survived the flood
 
 Watching life from the outside
 
 Though he said sorry, she knew he lied
 
 He drank his feelings, while she drank hers
 
 Numb and hazy, daily blurs.
