She Loved Him
The bruising and tears, a daily occurent,
Children still safe in her arms,
Doors, windows, locked and alarmed,
No way out, but she loved him.

Family, friends, no more became,
No reason to lie, you see?
Batterings and knives to her throat,
Yet for some strange reason she loved him.

A daily event, he knew no better,
To him that was his life, his past,
No way of telling, no words to speak,
He let it out, his anger upon her,
Yet, she loved him.

she knew not what his thoughts were then,
If only she had communicated better,
Take more interest, but how much more?
she was giving her heart to him,
Yes, she loved him.
