She sat staring silently
While he exploded
And she felt her heart
Do the same
It started beating wildly
As he unloaded
He was a master with the dart
Hitting bullseye with every aim
The color drained from her being
Becoming a fragment of herself
Lost in a trance
Encased in his anger
Shot down by his decreeing
Wishing for help
Flipping in an instance
From safety to danger
The knot in her stomach
Twisted tighter and tighter
Until she felt she was a mere shadow
Of who she was
Her tears started their plummet
Wishing for a fighter
To relieve every blow
As he used against her all her flaws
Bringing her lower and lower
Until she could no longer stand
She couldn't even crawl
She could barely lift her head
Then suddenly it was over
And he was offering his hand
Another story on the wall
If you could only hear what he said
