Awaken in the middle of the night!
Battered,
Beaten,
Forgotten!
My face glistening with silent bruises.
Waiting for the brutal morning.
For no one to see.
Smells,
Tastes,
Sounds.
No one is listening.
I cannot speak.
To hear and forget.
Battered,
Beaten,
Forgotten!
Another hit and fall.
Sirens screaming,
Caring faces,
They have seen me.
