Just End It

Its JUST another bruise, another cut
JUST about time you kept your mouth shut
Only JUST walked in, through the front door
One minute standing, then JUST fell to the floor
Should have said where id JUST been
Kept a smiling face that JUST turned mean

Never started out to END like this
Two teenagers END the night with a kiss
She was sixteen, and at schooldays END
The END of childhood married her best friend
Love seems forever no END in sight
Wedding night passion  ENDs in a fight

IT all continued, and just got worse
Her happy ever after, IT often hurt
Strange situations left IT often sad
He turned IT around and his fists got mad
Tonight he went at IT hard
Said my cheating had found ITs reward

So the last thing I say is IT JUST had to END
And it did tonight with Ambulance men
No pulse, no breath, no life in me.
At last my wish, just to be free

Such a well written yet so sad poem Sandra, domestic abuse is deplorable but to end in the way you described is terrible, good write, Roy.
