She cried
Make-up smeared
Clothes in disarray
Incessantly, she cried.

He moaned
Rhythmically thrusting
A “press-up” exercise
In ecstacy, he moaned.

She fought
Nails dug in his flesh
Legs kicking wildly
For her life, she fought.

He hit
Hand smashing head
Feet hitting her bowel
Aggressively, he hit.

She died
A cracked skull
Severed intestines
Losing the fight, she died.
