She said, "Tell Me Another Lie?"

She picked up the broken glass,
Hoping in her heart it would be the last
He knelt down beside her, it's usually what he'd do,
and muttered questioning words, "I Love You?"

Another day, another fight,
All this crying, punching, kicking never made it right,
"Tell me another lie?" She said,
As her body and heart bled.....

"I never meant to hurt you,
emotionally and physically, it's true."
But he'd uttered it all before, and he saw
by doing this he would escape the law!

Abuse is not a luxury,
it's a crime!
She sat listening,
silently crying inside....

"Baby you know I love you!
It's just sometimes......I have to do what I gotta do!"
How many more bruises to hide?
Now more frequently she was forced to lie!

"It's hurts so bad!" She cried,
tears flew quickly from her eyes.
"But I don't believe these lies!
Because it's the same every time!"

"You promise you'll stop, change,
but more frequently your flying into rage!"
She bit her bottom lip, waiting,
For him to hit her, silence her pain.

He looked at her with tears in his eyes,
"This time it's no lie,
I promise my Angel! How did it come to this?
your innocence and silence is what i miss."

"You stole my innocence, now i get the blame,
months with you and my life was never the same!"
He replied, "But believe me I love you, doesn't that make it fine?
I had to hit you coz you crossed the line!"

"Tell me another lie?" She bitterly replied.
She waited, escaping her mouth came a sigh!
"Tell me another lie??"
"You don't love me, never did, just wanted me to cry!"

He choked,"I'll tell you a lie,
I wanted to love you and not see you cry."
The truth stabbed like a 1000 knives,
But a sense of freedom came from the man who once ruined her life....

She stood up, forceful and strong,
"I'm leaving! I'm right and your wrong!
Goodbye but I can't feel this 1 more day,
And I no longer care what you gotta say!"

"Come back." He screamed,
But she kept walking away, crying silently.
No more pain, freedom,
But what do you do with all this?

Looking back that was years ago...
And what i did with it you'll never need to know!
But he's gone and I'm happy and free,
All because i FINALLY found the courage to leave!
