Run Free

The water looked like glass.
Her glasses had a red frame.
The barn's frame was cracked.
Her cracked mirror split her reflection.

She reflected on the moon's face.
Her face was coloured like a rainbow.
The rainbow came after the rain broke.
She broke the barrier of self silence.

Her silence kept him from using his fists.
His loud fists hurt her hearing.
She kept hearing voices telling her to run.
She tried to run, but he caught her quick.

The cut was quick, he didn't see the knife.
She held the knife behind her back.
Her back was full of bruises and pain.
The pain was over before he hit the floor.

The floor was red, she opened the door.
The door was covered in rain.
She loved rain when it cooled her face.
Her face wore a smile, she was free.
