2. Domestic Abuse

A tug and turn at night,

A slow recovery from the cold light

When the pains the same,

But the hands have changed

What's a person to turn to,

A friend or stranger, both the same

Spoken in discreet,
The quite houses scream all the louder

Tears that wash my face,

And tears that give the pain more taste,

Betray me now my body,

Is all that I am a waste.
