A Stain

Each night she goes to bed in fear Each night a prayer is prayed For just one night of peaceful sleep No visit to come her way Still every night he enters in He violates her soul Abruptly leaves this child in fear A wounded tattered girl Until one day she’s had enough His pain she can take no more She goes to bed and waits for him To end her broken world With one wave she cuts away The life he lives each day Now in peace she sleeps each night And all that’s left A stain Each day she prays for freedom Each day she battles on The day he promised to love and cherish The day is now no more With each day she faces fear From the man she dearly loves Leaves her in a battered mess Scarred to face the world Then came the day she had enough The fear she could not take Aimed a gun while in his sleep One shot would seal his face Her life is now free from fear The world she can enjoy Now in peace she sleeps each night And all that’s left A stain These stories each are similar The price each paid was death Two people lived in daily fear Now live in happiness Some say the actions Of these ones Were drastic steps to take The bible states Thou shalt not kill But help was just too late Think back the story Of the cross Where Jesus bled and died He shed his blood To save each soul For us he paid the price Sounds like the death Of these ones At the hands of ones that feared Was covered by the rugged cross Where Jesus paid for sin For God is love And each of us He wants to live in peace If you doubt Go to the cross And you will find A stain
