Pay Back

Sometimes enough is enough!!  A short poem on domestic abuse.

Flowers and jewels
Holidays and cruises
Top hotels abroad,
Anything he chooses.

Sparkling champagne. Treats and nice lunches
But when they get home, she ducks from his punches.

Top fashion couture
The latest designs
Face lift and fillers
To rid all those lines

A beautiful home
With gadgets galore
But her life is pure hell, behind that front door.

Luxury white linen,
adorns the large bed
No expenses spared
It has to be said.

She wants for nothing, should be living those dreams
No neighbours around,
to hear her loud screams.

Now crimson red linen, adorns the large bed
He lies there, so silent,
For certain, he's dead.

She tries to recall "when did it all start?"
But she knows how it ends, with a knife through his heart.
