He's Not Sorry (And Neither Am I)
She described him all right:
Tall. Tanned. Toned.
Charming - in every sense of the word.
He made chivalry look alive:
Strengthening each hand shake,
Perfecting every punch line.
But she had him all wrong:
One mistress. Countless pills.
A few jabs to the temple,
To make sure she'd never leave.
Time and again, he toppled to his knees,
Ensuring he had hurt her out of love.
She promised if I ever told a soul,
She'd never speak to me again.
And she's held true to that promise.
For three years. And eleven months.
---
I'll never apologize.

That was very good, came out in a sweet tone and then totally changed the game with "A few jabs to the temple" Real good
I believe person did the right thing by telling, it saved her life.

was it worth losing your friend
to no longer see her suffering
thats the question many should ask
those who see the abuse & let it pass
but maybe if it was not for you
her certain death may have come true
but it really takes a lot to care
friends like you are needed everywhere.....

noticed you liked ellen hopkins. this is very reminiscent of her works. specifically in impulse/cracked. liked the first part, was a bit thrown off by the last line which switched the narrator rather abruptly after being disconnected physically with the '---'. i don't know. maybe there's something i'm missing.
