Poetry/ She Warrior's last Cry

She washes the dripping blood from her bottom lip
Rubs her pain throbbing hip
Hears the door slamming signaling he’s left
Gone
She sinks down to the bathroom floor
Hugging her legs to her tight
Sobbing
Sick of the fear he instills
Wishing
As always
He’d just die in the night
Her body trembles as if cold
Just let him die in the night

No more tears are falling from her eyes
She stands with out stretched arms
Up
Pointed up to the ceiling
Out of her mouth comes a blood curdling cry
Her mind has snapped
Words
Her words
Yelling
Screaming
“One way or another”
“Tonight”
“I’m DONE”
“DONE”
