I talked and cried into the silence
They turned in pain and closed their ears
She screams into the silence
I feel sadness and guilt for not joining
Why will she fight him
How does she have the same pain
He loves her more
He hurt her, too
I used to stand up to his terror
Now I let go and ignore the wounds
I see the infection, scabs, scars
Wasn’t I brave to live this tragedy
Reality says four survived
Yet two more remain trapped
Logic wants to know why
Why did she choose this man
History will tell our tale
But will our love be crippled
Wisdom says time will heal
Even if it takes death to break the cycle
