Plate

Plate looked inviting.
Food was sufficient.
Their leftovers.
Her meal.

Gift

Extremely valuable.
His first word.
After ten years of silence.

Promise

He promised her stars.
Through the broken roof, promise shines.

Martyr

He came all packed. 
The trunk was small. 
Biggest sacrifice.

Makeup

Powder, blush, lipstick.
Makeup was perfect. 
To cover her bruises.

Bed

Creaky and old.
Smelly mattress.
Better than concrete, he thought.

Belt

He loosens his belt.
She quivers.
Its used again, today.
