The Girl Who Wants To Be Free

Today I see her crying
Sunglasses are well placed though
She doesn't know I heard
Last nights trouble So
I walk right past her door
She doesn't know I see
The black eye she received
Courtesy of He
I slow down a little 
Just to give her a smile
Does it make any difference
If it goes on again in a while
She doesn't know I feel
So angry and bereft
Wishing she had gone
Praying she had left
Today I see her crying
Knowing I cant reprieve
Her silence is her weapon
But will she ever leave

A moving piece, Gail, and sadly replicated in homes across the globe. All you can offer is support, albeit it silent. A fine little write. Viv x
