He used his fists, I heard him shout
“clearing those temper demons out”
A bloodied nose, a blackened eye
Drink turns him into a violent guy
Black bruises fade, so does their pain
But the mental scars always remain
I want to leave, I’ve tried and tried
He drags me back, oh how I’ve cried
Held captive - I am a beaten wife
Who can’t escape this abusive life
