Mistakes

She winces as the hand grazes her face.
Strong and powerful is its strength, 
the pain starts
but the tears are silent within.

She will not give him satisfaction
of the fact he hurt her.
He may like to hit
He may like to hurt
but she knows he still loves her.

He did it because of situations, 
she knows this now
but the pain is still there
her cheek still red.
She will be marked forever
by her mistakes.
