Wondering Why She Would Take Him Back

Forgiving relatives are fleeting Bristling angry, feeling violated Listing all his bad points Wondering why she would take him back Her children are reluctant Want to stay with grandma, more scared now than ever Dragged into his home again, expecting the worst Wondering why she would take him back Her parents are praying, Disgusted at all the time and money they have used To try to get her to see what she is doing to her children Wondering why she would take her back The nurses at the hospital are disgusted. Talking among themselves about the reconciliation Knowing she will be dead next time Wondering why she would take him back She loves who she loves who she loves She forgives him, believing his promises of happiness this time Hoping he will not hurt the children. Knowing that she has to take him back.
