Hurt No More
~
He left the evidence of his love
In the bruises on her cheek
Dinner was not done in time
An he never gave her permission to speak
~
A mans man if there ever was
He demanded from her perfection
But all she ever received from him
Was his constant bitter rejection
~
A backhand across her face
A push against a wall
The mans man has struck again
He made her feel so small
~
She is in love with him she tells herself
She deserves all that she gets
She is nothing without the man
She will never call it quits
~
A broken arm from a fall down a stairs
A bloody lip from a shower slip
Accidents she tells them all
Like she reads it from a script
~
We laid her to rest yesterday
She could not take it any more
They found her body beneath the bridge
It had washed to shore
~
The note she left had told it all
The torture she had endured
He will never hurt another
Of that she had made sure
~
They found his body laying face down
A gunshot wound to the back of his head
His just rewards he had received
Out of his body his life's blood shed
