Deep inside this prison of my mind
I constantly fantasize of revenge
We promised “till death do we part”
How long till I receive my parole?

It began as a simple slap on the cheek
Anger throve and blood was spilled
Bruised, Battered no dignity remained
Welts are the proof of his love

Horrible thoughts raced through my mind
Just a little more courage I must find
I shall raise his ire so he will strike
Misused once more to reveal my bravery

Awaiting his return to our little love nest
He enters and screams, “Come here Trash”
I hit the wall, then my head crashes to the floor
His precious coffee cup I had left on the porch

He waits a moment to see if I will flinch
He desires moans to reach his ears
Pleasure builds in his heart if I scream
Felt his foot on my chest, it nearly caved in

I regained conciseness, pain let me know I was alive
I struggled to stand without fear I hunted him
Sleeping so peacefully in our bed of dreams
He appeared to be an Angel of light

Quietly I found the knife of rescue
Hoping to be delivered by its blade
My body throbbed, my hands trembled
I clutched the handle and held fast

It was easier than I had prepared for
When they come to get me for this deed
I shall not cry, no remorse shall I devote
My heart will never obtain complete liberty

I will forever live in this prison of my mind
