Write a poem focusing on eyes.
Abused
Suffering sad eyes
Follow him around the room
Pleading him to stop
Windows to the soul
Shattered battered and beaten
Shades of black and blue
Bleeding tears stream down
He can change she knows he can
Mascara covered
He bought her flowers
“I’m sorry” he would tell her
“I had a bad day”
She saw in his eyes
His empty and hollow eyes
He didn’t mean it
Heading for the door
She’s been abused long enough
He blocks the doorway
Her eyes go dead red
Bringing down a knife to flesh
His eyes are lifeless
