HOMICIDAL ANTIDOTE

Young and Innocent but yet so Brave and Bold
with wild abandonment, she was too hot
headed to be told
A broken beauty naive to the violence
that would unfold
Her unique qualities so powerful -
she broke the mold
his unrelenting vicious stare - Icy cold
So penetrating and evil her soul
it did tare
she endured the blows, incessant maliciousness
without  a care, she did not cry
she did not dare
no-one knows why she stayed there
maybe, it was her lesson to learn?
her cross to bare..
never shown love she grew up
in a violent nightmare
she'd grown accustomed to the endless pain
it shadowed her like a dark evil stain
until she believed in her own disdain
mistreated, beaten, abused, again and again
regarded with contempt she was full of
self-hatred and pity, it flooded her veins
lost all hope, she'd handed him the reigns
he held her down both hands around her throat
the scars still fresh
a scene from murder she wrote?
NO, it was
the perfect homicidal antidote..
