It Did End

It started out a wild hot time.
Before I knew it you were mine.
I walked into this straight up blind.
I should have know something was very wrong.
You were way too easy to get along.
And that's when it started, for any little thing.
You'd say you're sorry, it won't happen again.
But it did happen...again and again. 
And this went on for far too long.
These bruises on my body, don't tell lies.
You go through it all, you'd even cry.
And like a mindless fool, I get sucked right back in.
Continuing to happen...again and again.
One day it will stop.
And one day it sure did.
The room was quiet when you walked in.
And at graveside, you said your goodbyes.
You said you were sorry and even started to cry.
