****Warning – possible triggers about domestic violence****
NO ONE is alone … get help https://www.thehotline.org/help/
She was his woman
She was his toy
He liked to dangle love
In front of her
Then rip it away
With callous words
And a slap of the hand
He never hit with an open fist
So she gave him
Many second chances
After all it was not like
He had raised a fist
Then one day
The hand balled up
And her jaw got broken
She was alone and desperate
She would no longer
Be dependent upon him
She would no longer be his toy
She found a shelter
And life and love again
Never looking back
Again… NO ONE is ever alone. Call, get help, there is always hope on the horizon!

Bless you for this beautiful. words of anger, violence, control are not part of love.
No woman should ever have to put up with that.
Thank you Drew. I certainly agree!
