She Promised Him
As she stands there and takes the blows
He's wondering why that text doesn't show
As she bites her lip to hold back her tears
He waits without any thoughts of fear
She's sent away with a shout of rage
He's oblivious to the turning page
She hears the door slam with a crash
He doesn't expect her next painful lash
Her tears spill and her pain gives hint
He can't see how the razor blade glints
Her mind blocked out, a few painless nicks
He continues through, never getting the kick
She drops the blade and watched the blood drip
He thinks of holding her on his next trip
"I PROMISED HIM!" a cry full of regret
"I wonder how she is?" too simple to forget
