Emotional Abuse
"I've broken the cycle!"
He loudly declares,
While
silently pounding
Another hatefilled nail in her palm.
"I've never hit
you, and I never will!"
He triumphantly cries,
As he pierces her
side
With a silent spear of anger.
"I'm not like my father!",
He
boastfully brags,
As he raises her battered soul
On the lover's cross
called
Emotional abuse.
