In the quiet, in the dark, far away from the crowd He kept secretly chipping away. He moulded her shape to his needs. Inside walls, behind doors, watched her bruise, let her bleed And painted her blue skies to grey. But he never once hurt her out loud. Left in chains, king of pain, makes a small man stand proud, Making each second feel like a day. And this new life became just routine. The accused leaves a bruise that can never be seen In a closed world of 'trust and obey'. He stripped her self-worth to the bone. Cut her ties, cut her skin, made a prison of home. Set a debt she could never repay. But he never once hurt her out loud. © Peter Routley 2026
