I saw you there
Blood dripping from your mouth I knew
That he had hit you again
I ran out the door got in my car and went looking for him
I went to the mall where he usually was
I saw him there taking with a few of his friends
I did not hesitate and did not waste one word
I rushed him and swung at his head with my fist
My fist that take down concrete walls
I took him down so easily
My knuckles bleeding dry on his face
That was almost unrecognizable
No one did a thing to stop
Not that it would have done any good
I saw a cop there looking at me
He knew what I was doing as right
I just kept pounding away at his face
You could not see his eyes they had swollen around
Finally the cop knew I would not tire so he picked me up
And sat me down on the stools near by
He walked away and picked that piece of ***** up
Turned him around and put the handcuffs on his wrist
I went to my car with some help from people around
They drove me to the hospital I guess I needed a shot or something
Anyways when I arrived the doctors came and helped to a room
Stuck a needle in me and cleaned my wounds
I needed a small cast from all the cuts I had received
I am not an angry person but I will not stand for that *****
No girl deserves to be treated like that it’s just wrong in so many ways
So that’s what I do to right the wrongs with my fists and strength
My hands hurt like hell from the alcohol and stuff
But then you walked in the room and it all went away
I swore I would not let any one hurt you even if you tried to stop me
One time you did he hit you and caused a miscarriage and I did nothing
All for the sake of you when I saw you there I could not let him get away with it
Not one more time not now not ever no way no how
You came up to me and laid down resting you head on my lap
And I felt good I felt calm again and happy that you were free
I did not sleep that night just protecting you
Looking after you is what I was meant to do and so I will do it
So sleep deeply and sweetly and know that I am always here for you
I would kill for you like I almost did tonight
People who treat women like that
Deserve what that guy got and much more
So don’t do it ever think of your mothers
And if you have I can forgive just don’t do it again

| Wow man this was such an intense write. It put goosebumps on me. Though I am a non-violent sister(unless someone's messing with my kids) many years ago I was in a very abusive relationship and would have appreciated a hand once in a while. This man was twice my size and many times he would beat on me in front of other people and no man ever stepped into help and I would even call out for help sometimes but people would just ignore it. Shameful I think. No woman should remain in a relationship like that, I know I didn't. Take care and much peace. |

Wow, brave knight. I'm sure it's much appreciated. It's nice to know that there are still folks out there that care and stick up for what's right.
