cobwebs and layers of dust surround
A heart left at the lost and found
Her painted face hides much more than it shows
Flashbacks to were the dye was cast
Fresh talons from her sordid past
Rip through the skin beneath her fancy clothes
She thought she'd laid to rest this wrath
Then like a mystic telepath
He took one look and saw were she had been
His crooked smile seemed worldly wise
The first to hear her muted cries
A battle hardened veteran of the scene
The words came first and then touch
Experience she hasn't much
The dam had burst and washed away her fear
Excitement took her by surprise
She met his lips and closed her eyes
He wiped away her solitary tear
The pent up passion both released
Allowed a taste before the feast
Three times she stood and fell back to the floor
Her shaking weakened legs won't stand
He holds on to her trembling hand
She whimpers as he moves back in for more

from one abusive relationship to another...
she thought that life was behind her...but he is an abuser and can spot a target a mile away.
Very sad piece of writing, I feel for the subject of this poem, immensely.
I despise anyone who abuses like this, it is worse than murder.

This surprisingly turns into a turn-on! Wow! I started feeling tense with empathy for this forlorn character as she starts out (killer imagery to show instead of tell how miserable this woman was), but then your storyline turns red hot with the unexpected attraction between the two toward the end. The gradual smoothness of how the two parts of your story transition is the beauty of this piece. You take the reader through such a slow irresistible tumble, we're all in for the woman for getting over her forlorn state with an eagerness to live again! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie
