2pm
And finally, thankfully the lights went out.
Silence no more abuse nothing left to shout.
Blessed relief, Oh! thank God no more pain
She tried to fight for life but she slipped away all the same.
2.30pm
Slavering he swayed above her body
Bitch, he muttered, looking at his hands, dirty and bloody.
Stepping over her he gave her side a kick, it was then the baby started to cry
No, not again he screamed, shut up, shut up you little shit, die.
3pm
He’d picked the baby up and smashed its’ head against the floor
Swung the baby round shaking it, it stopped screaming as it’s head met the door.
He left it lying there by her side … bloody thing it would of been okay if it had not cried
He went over to the table and drank from the bottle , unaware and uncaring that his wife and baby had died.
4pm
He is slumped across the table
Snoring , drunk to wake unable
What a greeting for a child from school
Mum and baby sister dead and bloodied, too cruel.
4.10pm
She was sick, she can’t believe her eyes
Frozen to the spot she cannot move however hard she tries
The evil drunk spoiler of her miserable life
Tired she is of him, sick again she reaches for a knife.
4.30pm
She puts the knife in his chest. No time to stop and think.
He hardly makes a move anesthetized by the drink.
Her senses tell her what to do so she picks up the phone.
Ambulance please, Dad has hurt my Mum, I have just got home .
5pm
The Police came with the Ambulance they had been there before.
They knew that this was bad as they stepped inside the door.
The girl in the corner dead baby in her arms dry eyed and lost
Mother a mass of bruises she did her best, but at such an awful cost.
6pm
The man was D.O.A . The paramedics could do nothing for him
The girl was so distraught they had to prize the baby from her arms so thin.
Poor little soul was what the nurses had to say
Her Mum and Dad and sister all of them snatched away.
8pm
The relatives room was quite apart from the little girls sobs
The social workers said they hate these type of jobs.
What ever could they do to help a little soul
Too young to understand , withdrawn and swallowed whole.

I don’t even have the words to say how powerful/raw this is. Made me sit back after reading it 3 times. Thank you for posting.

Gut wrenchingly raw and powerful write willow. The photo you chose adds to the tension of the words. How very very sad that this continues in our day and age. Wonderfully penned. xx

Thank you it is awful as you say it happens now as often now as it every did we are supposed to have evolved but evil,anger,jealousy and hate are still as strong. Thank you for reading

Too much pain out there Sweet Willow, violence is never an answer, but some reach for it without thought, seems in their nature, from the start of life, to the end, violence…. Question is why? The Cycle? Parents down to children and ever onwards? You describe the senselessness magnificently. Tragic.
hugs aplenty xPenx

It is an awful story made all the worse by the fact that it actually is happening somewhere as I type . hugs Pen hugs.

Is it fine if I tweet about this post?
Feb 17, 2014 @ 17:43:06
I do not use twitter but if you are going to post it in a sympathetic way I see no reason why not. Thank you for asking, I feel very strongly about the dreadful and long lasting affects of domestic violence on the whole family. Sorry for not answering before but your comment went straight into spam. Please do not use it in an inappropriate way.Be well and happy. willow

such a powerfully written piece. the awful things that happen in our world. heartbreaking but the more it is brought into our awareness the more the chance it may, one day, be a thing of the past.. when people will say i can’t believe the things that USED to happen in our world. thank you for sharing
Feb 17, 2014 @ 17:30:06
I know it is not a nice subject and no one wants to believe it happens like this but sadly it does! Yes we need to get it out there and we cannot afford to sugar coat it!. Thank you for your support!! be well and happy!!
