Broken: Inside & Out

She sits, waiting for his return.

She remembers his voice; So deep. So stern.

 

She remembers every fight, word by word.

She refuses to leave him, although she knows its absurd.

 

She believes she deserves every single bruise.

She doesnt fight back, because she knows she will loose.

 

She cleans until her hands are numb.
When he calls, she knows to come.

 

She is willing to put up with it all.

She no longer writes, and ignores every call.

 

Will she ever learn to save herself? Well, that depends.

Is she willing to love him.. until the very end?

Very nice form and timing.
"...because she knows shell lose." Change it to this and it adds a whole new dimension to it "...because she knows she will lose." It adds a stronger dynamic to it and will not screw your timing. It's more certain that she will lose. It's a strong piece and you want to keep the strength of it.
Spell check obsurd is absurd.

The ending was a brilliant thought provoking line, that made me think of this common vow - For sickness and in health, 'til death do us part.

Thanks for the share.
