She closes her eyes as she takes another blow to the face. She knows
she's done nothing wrong but still he screams as she lays there. Bloody
and broken from his rage and his pain. Her screams have long died out as she
silently cries. Another night spent afraid of sleeping, another night of
fists and hits. The fight drained from her body long ago. So she lies there
crying herself to sleep praying that tomorrow will be better. Prays that no
one will notice the broken flesh and blackened colors that cover her body.
