Never Came

She crys in pain,
From all the shame.
She lays  on the ground being tortured, humiliated, and torn from the inside out.
She has so many bruises, everyone can see.
She has to pretend to not see this clearly.
Her blood bleeds from her wounded heart, but she can not feel.
Something everyone talks about, love, it will heal,



Can’t anyone help and look at her,
Just take away her misery.
She cries every night in agony and pain.
"Don’ walk away, tonight, please, have mercy, just stay."


You didn’t stay, and that night was cold.
She got beat to death, and walked down the stormy road.
She found so much terror in that mans eyes as she started to fade.
She walked alone, on her way to heavens gates.

How sad it is when a delicate soul feels "tortured, humiliated" by a lover who has left them behind. You capture the angst beautifully, Elizabeth.

Heaven is all the peace we need ... against a memory of batter and bleed ... hold on to your inspiration ... it shines here.
