Unarmed and scared she peeked under the hood
Hoping her tormenter would not awake
She watched the rise and fall as he breathed
Taking a chance she moved slowly towards the front door
Opening one bolt at a time to get out of hell
Freeing the last lock she heaved a sigh of relief
But chanced a look at the man sleeping noisily
Was she doing the right thing?
He was the love of her life…
The father of her children…
Her happy ever after…
With tears streaming down her cheeks she escaped
…and ran towards freedom
Her children’s relieved faces said it all
Hoping her tormenter would not awake
She watched the rise and fall as he breathed
Taking a chance she moved slowly towards the front door
Opening one bolt at a time to get out of hell
Freeing the last lock she heaved a sigh of relief
But chanced a look at the man sleeping noisily
Was she doing the right thing?
He was the love of her life…
The father of her children…
Her happy ever after…
With tears streaming down her cheeks she escaped
…and ran towards freedom
Her children’s relieved faces said it all
