I perceive your darkness
shining from within your soul
I hold your broken dreams in my arms
and give you the love of my heartbeat
Your head is bowed
as if in contemplation
are you wondering
if their is a price to be paid
can love come without a cost
I see your tears dance down your cheeks
each one representing an abusive encounter
I wonder how you can muster
the strength to fight another day.
Maybe you’ve become addicted to the violence
of certain men.

"Your head is bowed
as if in contemplation
are you wondering
if their is a price to be paid

This is a very poignant verse and has religious connotations. Just one typo I think, the "their" should be "there". A very thoughtful and excellent poem. ~T
