Mister Violent

Dear mister violent
mister tyrant
mister 'shut up and be silent'.
Fuck you.
Because its been years
a lifetime apart
but she can still feel the fear.
No more bruised skin
but battered hearts still live.
No more nightmares
but memories still give.
She remembered once
and now she's on her second cigarette -
finished the first one in a minute
just smoking away regret.
Broke down one time - two times - three
cried so much she couldn't breathe
could barely see.
So fuck you mister violent.
Fuck you mister tyrant.
Fuck you mister 'hit until she's pliant'.
Leave her alone
and let her mind be silent.
