her face is scarred with years of pain
blood drips from wounds time and time again
her heart is broken and shattered to pieces
every part of her has been beaten
this women so young appears so old
eyes so lifeless and skin so gray
she is abused each and every day
illness and sickness have neared the grave
that husband she has is all to blame
he's drank and wasted the days away
and each night brings new rage
that rage is masked by a crippling fear
fear that her death may be quite near
maybe one night his violent love,
will win the struggle with death and she will die
or here she will suffer for all time
in eternity she will fade and wither
not fighting with what she is given
