Mirage

Pulsating pain shatters her fragile bones Her mind a whirlpool of thoughts An engine drone A burst of heat! She moans A Jab! A Stab! She groans   Aching for survival A gentle voice A tender touch Surely that is not asking for much   Eyes full of love just for him  By his fist her sight now dim Her radiant smile meant to soothe Broken ribs thanks to his boot   Slave to his charm Veiling his ability to harm Such a perfect prince a saint How then could he cause her to faint   A love so special admired by all A love in shambles what lead to its fall A love with no equivocation A figment of her imagination   How was she to deduce That she would be a victim of abuse What is the crime for this sentence she is Serving For she is guilty only of loving   A love rooted so deep it could never budge Alas! It was nothing but a mirage!!!
