She hurts

A tear falls from her eye
as she turns away
saying goodbye to the love of her life
when all she wants to do is stay.

She knows he was just angry
and he'd had a lot to drink
but it'll only happen again
and she's become too scared to blink.

She's torn between what's right
and what she wants to do
if she stays and forgives
how does she know his word is true?

She remembers every minute
the pain she felt inside
when she fell to the floor, looked up to the mirror
and saw what he'd done on the outside.

The blood taht slowly dripped
from her bottom lip
a lip that would never touch the mouth
of her love, since he'd caused it to rip.

He's honestly sorry, she knows it
and he knows he wont do it again
but she knows better than him
knows it'll never be quite the same.
