Beatings

She sits and waits
Scared to death

She hates him deep inside

She doesn't know when he will do it next

She doesn't know if it will show

He walks in the room
Red with anger

She knows it is coming
and she shakes with scared anticipation

He gets closer to her
Takes her by the hand with a firm grip

Pulls her out of the chair that she is in
Brings her close and kisses her softly on the lips

Then he pushes her on the ground
kicks her and tells her that she is worthless

She starts to cry
Knowing that it isn't over

He picks her up off the floor
Pulls her close like he did before

Say i love you he says to her
She says it and starts to cry even more knowing that it isn't true.

He sets her back down in the chair, kisses her on the cheek and walks out of the room

I hate you she whispers and starts to cry an angry cry.
