Bitter Words

Cold bitter words,
Uttered under mumbled breath,
Marks unseen;Naked to the eye,
Emotions put to the test.

Time after time,
Hurtful words Peirce like daggers,
The words still echoing in her mind,
Crying as he hits her.

Longing for the feeling of ease,
Screaming to escape her mind,
Wishing all those hurtful words,
Would erase themselves with time.

Washing the evidence away,
Her tears seem to flow,
Watching her pitiful life decay,
Into something unknown.
