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.
