Gravity pulls her down again,
With some assistance from his fist.
What provoked it this time?
Some questions hold no real answers.
Excuses bury her deep again.
With some assistance from his lies.
“You had it coming this time.”
Some things he says, worse than the swings.
What she needs is rain to wash the blood away.
The tears in her eyes, will be a fleeting memory.
The thunder in the distance, covers words she cannot say.
As she whispers to the heavens, that someday he will pay.
Reflections tear her apart again.
With some assistance from the bruises.
Can she cover it up this time?
Some cuts cannot be hidden so easily.
Anger takes control again.
With some assistance from her pain.
Will she finally put an end to it this time?
Sometimes, fire does fight fire.
What she needs is rain to wash the blood away.
The tears in her eyes, will be a fleeting memory.
The thunder in the distance, covers words she cannot say.
As she whispers to the heavens, that someday he will pay.
Who knew cold steel could be so loving.
A trigger to the finger, a comforting touch.
More than he could ever give her.
More than she could ever take.
But she can take one thing tonight.
And make this all go away.
The bang rings out like a siren song.
And the thud after, the reprise.
Such beauty in this chaos, such release.
It’s finally over.
What she needs is rain to wash his blood away.
The tears in her eyes, are of happiness today.
The thunder in the distance, covers words she’s been waiting to say.
As she yells up to the heavens, “I finally made the fucker pay!”
