Standing in this rain.

He seems to think it's not illegal and justice will never prevail. That he means well and will never end up in jail. He says it's out of love, all those aching bruises don't make his excuse filled stories precious like a dove. The anger I now hold within me, because now I know what he does, I will soon set it free. It is building up fast, as I sit here watching her, it's like each word could be her last. My eyes begin to burn as he yells in a fierce tone, "WHEN WILL YOU LEARN!?!" He lifts his hand. she forces her mind to an unbearable pain filled land. She shuts her eyes, praying someone hears her pleading cries. Quickly he forces his mountain fist into her face, she doesn't seem to have time to think, her heart begins to race. She uncomfortably shakes, as she feels her heart begin to break. The blood runs cold, the anger will never leave, he's thinking this will never get old. It's the hope she wishes, prays for, like every night before. But tonight she can't stand the pain, as she stands in this rain, she loses her fight. She takes away her life,
with exactly one,
knife.
