Skin

Her skin so fair
Her hair all a mess
Only one last tear
And no one there for her to confess

She’s lost and afraid
She hears him come
She must obey
He thinks she’s dumb

She knows she’s not
She lets him in to stop
Stop him from hurting someone else
Stop him from the brink

She’s always known him to scream
He physically and mentally tears at her
She cries a painful scream
Every hit he throws at her

Her skin all tattered
From the abuse
Her heart all shattered
He has no excuse

Her face all mangled
The painful yells and hits he throws
Her feelings all tangled
She can’t believe this is what she chose

She just wanted to save
Save just anyone
From his painful wave
And the hurt that weighs a ton
