One fist at a time

One fist at a time.

The pain pulsing through her body, her tears stinging her bruised cut
face, her heart already broken from years of boxing matches with her
husband. His acting like it didn't happen only makes it hurt worse,
her determination to leave taken long ago with too many beatings.
He never apologizes for hurting her anymore he thinks she
deserves it, that he has to punish her for not being who he wants her to be.
Calling the police is even more frightening then staying cause if they
don't believe her he will kill her.
She has few friends and her family won't step in because
they fear his vengeance will be unleashed upon them. They rarely
receive any phone calls from her hardly see her, although they are perfectly
aware what he does to her they act as if all is normal. All the while he
kills her one fist at a time. Before too long her life will be gone
either by his hand or her own out of desperation to stop her pain.
She will become just another number of so many
women who are killed one fist at a time........
Then just like when she lived this world will
keep turning and another woman dies again.
