Love Is Pain

Makes me furious seeing a woman with a bruise over her eye. The smeared mascara from the tears she's cried. Pain he's caused, scarring her inside. Silent Prayers are whispered into the night. You're under one helluva spell when you don't tell. You're not well when you accept being put through hell. It's been awhile since you've focused rself. Staying with that man is simply bad for your health. Because of him there is so much life you've missed. How could you love a man that mistakes a kiss for a fist? He's not stable; definitely not mentally okay. If his idea of "love" is to physically harm you in such a way! You're under one helluva spell when you don't tell. You're not well when you accept being put through hell. Stand up! Free yourself from those emotional chains. No more scrubing shirts from blood stains. Your world will be a happier, warmer place. No more heavy makeup covering your pretty face. So be strong now and walk away. Live to love "you" and your children another day.
