Bruised eyes
Swollen lips
Broken hips
Hopeless dreams
Silent screams
Flowing tears
Growing fears
He used to love her
She was his everything
Alcohol took her place in his heart
To her he is now a stranger
When she sees him, in her eyes he reflects danger
How do you go from loving someone to aggressively despising them?
What happened to his heart?
What changed him?
He was her knight in shining amour
Now he's her fright in fuming humour
Every night she prays for her life
Very far from her family, she can't escape the wrath of his hand
He loved her once, maybe his heart will remember her,
That's what she told herself, until the day in a hospital bed she laid.
To never wake
For something she did not know with her life she paid
Her soul distant from her body
She could've lived, but she believed he would still love her again
She died in pain
Bruised heart
Broken rips
Cracked lips
Blood marks on her back
A dead baby inside her belly,
And her breath? There barely.

Is Your Love Life a Comedy or a Tragedy?
When you wait for him, hoping to walk together, but he’s not just strolling slower — he doesn’t even want to walk alongside you. You do your best, but he’s not just careless; he doesn’t care about your tears and loneliness. He only likes the way you treat him, not the person you are.
