Forever tears fall down her face
a puzzle of watery lines
some filled in by bruises and scars
jigsaw of black pours from her eyes
a broken face
a broken heart
curled up on the floor
battered skeleton
covered by pale skin
blood from her wounds
spattered on the floor
she breaks
slowly and painfully
forever she knows this to be her end
a sad fate
but she can't pretend
he breaks her
bit by bit
she cries and cries
not wanting to die
she cries
she breaks
forever he regrets
her sobs

The author's comments:
I was just thinking about the word forever. It's a word of commitment, and a lot of times it's associated with good things, love, happily ever after. But what if it was something bad that one had to deal with forever, then forever would be a bad thing...So I started to write this.
