Broken

You broke the promise
And tattered my heart to pieces
I can wash our house with my tears
My joy and pride you've snatched
In your controlling cage I am trapped
Like a bird awaiting it's death
From its cruel crony
I can't hope or wait for your delusional pledge
For you're determined to terminate
The remaining world in my life
The blows and punches
Heavy and devilish
Land with little love
on my tender and delicate body
While our kids watch
As mama dodges this and that blow
A perfect guide for their future
