Echoes of Silence

Fists strike against innocent flesh, scars and bruises form without a second look, nobody speaks but for muted screams and echoes of silence, can you hear them?

The abuse goes unpunished, hearts break like bones, dreams become nightmares, wounds reopen with force, chairs thrown through air, nobody should be a victim at home, can you hear them?

Their hearts cry, their passions die, their souls sigh, their happiness a lie, they echo in solitude, their world is close to ending, their spirits cracked without hope, a promise of hope coming, and their eyes fall in defeat, can you hear them!!!!?
