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.
