Price We pay

by Gabi   Feb 5, 2005


The woman on the floor
eyes swollen shut and in tears
because the man she once loved
is the man she now fears

He losses his temper
and takes it out on her
bruises and scars
trips to the emergency room
and more

This is the price that she pays
because she loves this man so
she hopes it will all change
eventually one day

But their kid not older then five
ask his dad why?
he answers back
with this is the price we pay
when you love someone so

Their kid now grown
has a wife of his own
takes out his gun
tells his wife bye
and whispers in her ear :
this is the prcie we pay
for loving someone so

the sad thing is we learn from our parents...and people die each day from husbands, wifes, and strangers.....
