Betrayed By Love
Facing brutality daily;
you deal with abuse and brute force.
And though you feel betrayed by love,
faith helps keep you on the right course.
When you look into a mirror,
you see a stranger, bruised and blue.
And her vacant eyes look empty;
as she blankly stares back at you.
Living in the shadow of fear,
you bear the scars upon your flesh.
And at times, you'd ask yourself why;
when the pain was throbbing and fresh.
You cannot make yourself leave him;
on the off chance that he loves you.
And yet, you pray he'll change someday;
for you're scared of what he might do.
Your love's not always understood;
in the depths of your broken heart.
But you're a slave to your feelings;
even when they tear you apart.
