His drinking got out of hand
he’d beat his wife black and blue,
her make-up covered each mark
but not the scars in her heart.
This cruelty ran and ran
fists rained down blow after blow,
she tried to evade and dart
these actions she must report.
This behaviour was so wrong
she sought justice from the law,
now he’s been locked behind bars
protecting her from more hurt.
