Behind the veil

"I fell over," she said, 

when asked about the fresh bump on her head.

Whilst slightly facing away,

Her eyes wandered astray

"Wow must've hurt?" the stranger asked.

"If only you knew," she replied, whilst keeping the truth hidden, masked.

Nobody knew,

What she'd been going through.

Only Him.

Him..

She didn't comply,

He didn't hold back,

She asked a question,

He made his attack.

Not with words,

Not with texts,

Just with fists,

And violating sex.

He'd been learning from the porn pro's.

His comparison lead him to throw a few more blows.

She didn't live up to his expectations,

He hated her and didn't care about any relationship foundations

It was too late for any of that

She purely existed to be his door mat.

She was broken,

She was used,

This was her new normal,

Just pure abuse.

What could she do,

There was no-one,

There was just the screen,

Then it was her turn to blow one.

She dare not run ,

She dare not hide,

He was watching,

Even while she cried.

His sickening thrust,

His stench made her sick,

But she had to please this man,

For she was bought just for this.

Online brides

She fell into the lie

Happiness, love

To find a rich guy

What a nightmare

What a regret

She was hitched to a coward

The worst guy she ever met.
