Bam! Goes a fist. Lips bleeding. Bam! Goes a kick. Body hits the floor. Cruel words shouted. She cowers-- Nowhere to hide, it seems. She leaves. Promises not to come back. He says, "Sorry". The next day, She decides to return. On and on, it goes. A cyclical syndrome of violence. Yet, she continues to hope That he resolves to be kinder. A respite. Yet, one tiny impetus-- And, it begins again. Bam! Goes a fist. Lips bleeding. Bam! Goes a kick. Body hits the floor. A circular prison of sadism-- And broken promises Of love. "Brutal Cycles Of Love" #domesticviolence #diwa #yqbaba
