Under His Reign

You left, just up and disappeared You move away when I tried to get near You wore the dark glasses all the while You never once flashed me a smile I wondered what color were your eyes Was all you told me a bunch of lies Then yesterday I read the paper and got the news You were arrested for the murder of your husband, your eyes were black and blue Maybe you tried to tell me, but I didn't listen You never smiled from the teeth you were missing I read where you said he will never beat me again, no more pain I am no longer under his reign I go to visit you as my tears stream down You tell me for what I did I now reign myself with a thorny crown I went through one broke arm, he promised he would never hurt me again The following week a concussion, he promised it would end He said as he punched me in the nose, that I must be trained I am his wife and under his reign Last night there was a revolt, no more, I am not his property to claim Where he is going, he will not reign
