It started with just a simple hug
It soon became a kiss
Moved on to be a sensual touch
In time, it would become a fist
More and more like taking a risk
‘twas the beat of a drum and the agony to the hum
for the soundtrack of a dis
I would dance to the beat of his fury and rage,
whenever he was pissed
In time it became I don’ts, but I do’s
He painted my faces in purples and blues
It was a rollercoaster of honeymoons
His love song was truly a hit
By the end of the hook,
I had a whole new look
So I bought him a new outfit
He put in the work to arrive in that dirt
as a casket full of sh--t
That last breath he took
And the flicks of his tongue
Are the only things I miss

** Voices of former victims of domestic violence **
“I was scared that if I left, he would find me and kill me. That’s what he’d always say he would do. He would promise, and one promise he never broke was when he told me he was going to fuck me up. I lived in fear. I was Roxy”
- Latrisha B.
“I thought about ending my life so many times. If it wasn’t for my kids I would have killed myself a long time ago. That was the only way I was going to escape – Through death. I was Roxy”
- Lizzy O.
“It started with him just playing. Honestly, I thought his aggression was sexy, I liked it. But then it turned into something else, the next thing I knew I was his personal punching bag. It only stopped when he left me for another woman. I was Roxy”
- Cherry P.
“ He’s a nut, but he’s MY nut. Over time he has learned to control his anger. We still have issues, but I believe he will get better. I am Roxy.”
