She Couldn’t tell
Her Story
At least not fully
He tried
To destroy her that
Not so long
Ago
Night.
He had broke
Her that night
In a way
That went deeper
Than the violence
Inflicted upon her.
He had spoken
In dreams
And second chances
But looking back
Is happenstance.
She had believed
His thinly veiled
Lies
He’d change
He’d do better
Until the moment
She lay there
A knife in her spine.
She had believed
She’d die
On that cold floor
Alone
Only Jesus and her
But a gentle hand
Carried her through
