He Is a Waste

She closes her eyes trying not to cry she closes her eyes trying to hide from his 

anger she closes  her eyes trying to hide from him forever, She covers her bruises 

she covers her wounds she covers her face she knows she is his disgrace,

She is in pain she is ashamed she is alone she has nowhere to go she 

stays there watching him drink his life away she knows soon he will fade

away, she knows soon his life will end and her life will soon begin.
