Rancid

The putrid smell of rancid rotting flesh in the night

She endures this with all her might

He beats her and cheats

Begs for forgiveness and then repeats

Why does she endure? you may wonder

The night sky brings forth thunder

A fractured mind, a lost soul

Never again will she be whole

Cold metal to skin

She begins to give in

Just one swipe of the blade

And she’ll be remade

Away from this madness

Away from the sadness

At that moment she hears a cry


Father forgive me for I have sinned

Forgive me this one time, never again

I won’t let the madness take over me again….


Demons denounced, he now rushes home

He’ll make it right; bring back the light

With trembling fingers he turns the key

Pushes the door open and what does he see?

He sees her radiant, burning bright

And the little boy sleeping tight

In that pool of red they sleep

As the man breaks down and weeps.
