First of all this post was an excellent idea.....
I have too many pieces to choose a best, besides IMHO most of them suck! *lol* ... so I ust picked one that I REALLY felt in my heart when I wrote it..... certainly not my best, but it meant a lot to me at the time....

Domestic Silence

She has died this night……..the date is not important
Just know they’ve been together for about a year
She was not the first one killed
By this murderer holding no guilt
But tonight his burning anger shall extinguish her flame
And in his possession, her soul shall wilt
Voiceless words of rage spoken by his cold eyes
Re-tearing a lifetime of healed lacerations in her self-esteem
Still this mockery never felt so welcome
Sarcastic love is better than none at all
Take it as you will, but it’s the only love she’s ever known
And so instead of taking a stand, she allows it to progress
She’s sure he’s a good man that loves her, he’s just under too much stress
Others will try to convince her to run away & just leave him be
But they don’t truly understand, they can’t see all his good qualities
Their not in her tunnel of vision, & thus can’t see the light
Just because his actions make him wrong, doesn’t make me right
If you were as close as I am, you’d see past his temper to the real man
The one that’s loving, caring, & has a gentle hand
(But she has yet to notice that the hand is now a fist……)
She thinks, “I don’t mind that he doesn’t give me flowers” with a silent sigh
But this changes suddenly as his first blow causes a black rose to bloom around her eye
Gritting her teeth she bears it, cause this is her best friend
And this pain over time she’ll actually learn to take pleasure in
So after this fateful night she will never be the same
This one accepted act of violence would leave her forever changed
And though he won’t kill till many years later
With one too many blows to the head
tonight both he & she will fail to recognize the fact
That actually, she’s already dead……….
