Somebody Help Me

by Sarah Sisson

Somebody help me,
I am being murdered,
Slowly by the one that I love truly.
I am sure that you will be lettered.
Somebody help me,
I am being physically abused,
Leaving painful marks that are visible for you to see.
My body is being bruised.

Somebody help me,
I am being verbally abused,
He is scarring me for life.
The words he is screaming make me feel used.
Why would he do this to his own wife?
Somebody help me,
I am being attacked,
He is threatening my life.
Every movement is being tracked.
Somebody help me,
He has grabbed the knife.
