He beats her body and bruises her face

text-align:center;line-height:normal" align="center">She still loves him

text-align:center;line-height:normal" align="center">He controls her mind and shatters her
dreams

text-align:center;line-height:normal" align="center">She still loves him

text-align:center;line-height:normal" align="center">He starves her for days and locks her
away

text-align:center;line-height:normal" align="center">She still loves him

text-align:center;line-height:normal" align="center">He lies to her and steals from her

text-align:center;line-height:normal" align="center">She still loves him

text-align:center;line-height:normal" align="center"> No longer afraid

text-align:center;line-height:normal" align="center">No longer controlled

text-align:center;line-height:normal" align="center">He feels her slipping away

text-align:center;line-height:normal" align="center">The bruises are fading

text-align:center;line-height:normal" align="center">The pain is gone

text-align:center;line-height:normal" align="center">He feels her slipping away

text-align:center;line-height:normal" align="center">With all her strength

text-align:center;line-height:normal" align="center">With all her courage

text-align:center;line-height:normal" align="center">She boldly says

text-align:center;line-height:normal" align="center">“I don’t love you anymore”

ABOUT THE POET ~
I have been writing poetry since I was a young girl. I find it very helpful for me when it comes to the stresses of life. I write about my experiences and hope that with someone reading one of my poems it will help them too.
