Battered Love

You said you love me but it was a lie,
no matter what I did, no matter how I tried.
Nothing was good enough for you to see,
that you never should have put your hands on me.

I would have given the world to you,
and all you did was beat me black and blue.
I washed your clothes and put them away,
then you blackened my eye because you had a bad day.

I had your supper ready for you on the table,
I put it all together just as fast as I was able.
You told me I was a no good tramp,
then you cracked me over the head with a lamp.

I had your baby boy with eyes so brown ,
but you kicked me and punched me when no one was around.
Everything I have done has been for you and not me,
how could you be so mean, so cold hearted,
how could you, my love be my enemy?

I am wiser now and know I must get away,
for you will kill me if I stay.
I contemplate a way out,
I could always just scream and shout.

That would get me no where,
I would have to escape, change my hair,
Just then I hear the door crack,
I have chills crawling up my back.

You have anticipated my next move,
I see you look at the dresser,
you remove a knife from a groove.
You put the knife in my face,
you are cursing and screaming at me,
my blood I can now taste.

You look at me with terror in your eyes,
you say hold on, I am sorry, this is not your fate,
but unfortunately for me,
your apologies and awakening came much too late.
