Even At All

He begins to yell
He begins to scream
And to throw things as he
Has done in the past
He hits her and bruises her face
She yells and screams for him to stop
But her cries fall on only her childrens ears
Lying in the room only two doors down
He doesnt care, he doesnt love, he only sees
What his drunken vision allows him to see

But still she doesnt care
About the black eyes
or the bruises on her arms
He can take her money
He can take her looks
But the one thing he can never take
Is her heart for it belongs
To a much better man
A man who cares,a man who loves,
A man that can see the beauty within
She knows that God will save her
But still she reaches out for him
To make this man stop
Wondering why he could have ever
Let this be

He continues to beat her
And she tries to fight back
But she is too weak
To stop the man that she thought
She once loved
The cops bust in and the screaming stops
They rush back to the back bedroom
Where the struggle once was
And as they enter the room
The find the girl sitting by the wall
Crying out that she really didnt mean too
It was all just an accident I swear it really was

And as the cops take the girl away
And the kids stand
Helplessly by their father
They begin to cry
Knowing that their mom will never return
And that man who mommy called baby was
Just another man that they never really knew
Even At All...........
