HER ESCAPE
Dark night
She paces the floor
Will he come home
And begin calling her,” WHORE!”
Should she try to make
A break for it
If he catches her leaving
It’s all over she knows
Better stay and chance a beating
Just try to take the blows
If she could go a thousand miles
If she had a place to stay
If she’d walked away the first time
The game her mind plays
Of days filled with laughter
And nights filled with
Love
She hears the car in the driveway
He greets her with a hard shove
Her mind tries to drift away
To anywhere but here
She knows not to make a sound
Or dare to shed a tear
He laughs as she crawls away
And then pulls her back
He’s not done with his toying
Till both eyes are black
She knows she could end this
With the courage she’s found
Pulls the trigger
Again and again
Till her life finally leaves ...
She won this round
Don't let this be the way your life ends. Get out at the first sign. Have a plan and keep it secret. Most of all, DON'T ever go back - ever!
