An Aching Heart
Insults and threats so unkind
It's only just beginning
An aching heart needing comfort
Black eyes,a broken nose
Tears streaming down your face
An aching heart wants to hide
Embarrassed to speak of abuse
Suffering alone in Silence
An aching heart goes unheard
Afraid to stay and afraid to go
Fear deep within your soul
An aching heart goes unprotected
I hear your cries and see the bruises
Only wanting to stop the pain and hold you
A mother's aching heart that loves you
