By His Side - Abused Women Contest
She wakens in the morning
Through her eyes she cannot see
Bruised and battered by her lover
Yet she stays to service he
He is a senseless bruising beast
Who thinks his fist speak the best
Would never dream of being gentle
Thinks being kind does not impress.
In his mind he does no wrong
Since the cancer took its hold
The gentle man he once was
Would never be so hard and cold
So she stays by his side
Knowing a beating is on the score
Prays the lord keeps her alive
Until he needs her no more.
Could you walk the road she battles
Would you step inside her shoes
Shaken till her teeth doth rattle
Not a single inch that isn’t blue.
She loves him he is her master
Protector, lover friend
Kept her safe when things mattered
Vowed to love her to life's end
He would be mortified if he knew
The pain and torture he sends her way
Still she smiles and says “I love you”
Til he’s at deaths door she will stay.
