Should Have Known...

decrease

He was showing me mercy,

It was subtle but still there

None the less.

First it was less lashes,

Only 50,

Then 40,

Now its just 10.

Its been five months now...

I have done everything he says,

I'm skinny,

So much you can see my ribs.

My body is littered in bruises,

scars & cuts.

My wounds are infected...

from lack of care.

My body is weak,

from the continued Blood loss.

He comes daily at 2pm,

But today is different.

Its 4pm,

And I havent seen him all day.

To be honest...

It scares me.

more than the lashes and bites.

I feel relieved,

But also fearful.

He's never late...

Lets see how obedient you really are...
