poem of desperation and freedom |
Saved by a Storm The night was dark, windy and cold Upon the ground snow was foretold Another night of fear, terror and pain She can't take any more, the tears fell like rain The urge to leave was stronger than ever To leave this place now and forever Face the fear her mind kept saying If you stay here you'll just keep paying Happy and loving, it was good at the start The man she had found had stolen her heart Tender and kind, supportive and loving But after a while he started shoving Then he was yelling and pulling her hair Hit with his fist and thrown down the stairs Afraid to go out, battered and bruised Used up, worn out, like an old pair of shoes She has to get out, she fears for her life She had tried so hard to be a good wife Her dream was shattered, broken and gone Why had she suffered so hard and so long The wind it blew harder, the storm had arrived The door had blown open, a chance to survive She threw on her, coat, mittens and hat Walked into the night and never looked back. |
