Please provide an analysis of the poem "While I Was Bleeding" by Tania Alamin.Where do I begin to explain the beating? You watched as I sat there...

The poem, "While I Was Bleeding", contains the following
literary devices:

Simile: "Played me like a
game"

Repetition: use of the word "never", "you", and
"I"

Alliteration: "begin/beating", "Day/died", and "who was
watching"

The speaker's tone, typically a reflection of the
author's as well unless the poet is writing from a persona, changes from the beginning
of the poem to the end.  In the beginning, the speaker's tone is questioning. She
(assumed given the author is female) is wondering how one who stated that they loved her
could abuse her in such a way.  She is curious about the treatment and fails to
understand the balance between love and abuse. Her feelings on the subject are
questioning.

By the end of the poem, the speaker's tone has
changed.  She seems to have found that her faith in "God" has lead her from the abuse.
She knows that her abuser will have to answer for her mistreatment.  Therefore, her tone
is one of satisfaction.  While she knows that she will never receive the answers as to
why her abuse existed, she holds promise in the fact that her abuser will have to answer
to God.
