Like She Loved Him

She loved him with all she had
He hurt her like the useless brat
She set the room up, candles glistening under the moonlight
He broke in, shouted, slapped her and left without so much of a goodnight
She tossed and turned, sleepless on the ground
While he slept, wasted with alcohol around
She shed her tears without a sound...
He came back, reeking of stale beer and flipped her off with a rude sneer
She nodded, quietly obliged and slept in the guest room, synchronized.
One day when he returned, he looked possessed
Growling like the pig he was, he held her by the hair.
Pushed her down and tied her to a chair
He was a monster in a man's disguise, if you haven't already guessed.
He smirked, an evil smirk like those evil witches
And slashed her wrist so hard it didn't heal even when she got stitches...
She ran away with a thought in mind
She won't let the past rewind.
One day he'll need her like she needed him,
One day he'll wait like she always waited
One day he'll cry like she turned grim
One day he'll know what it's like to be frustrated...
One day he'll pant of all efforts
One day he'll be all hopeless and curt
One day he'll feel the unshed tears brim
One day he'll love her like she loved him
He'll feel all helpless, cold to the bone
He'll do all possible to get her back home.
He'll realize what he had is lost
He'll die in hell, his bones will rot.
The day when he's finally found her, he'll show up with a grin
That day he'll love her but ??she won't love him...
