Beat To Death

by Melinda   Feb 2, 2004


Another hard blow to the head
Sending blood dripping down my cheek
What did I do to deserve this?
Please stop! I feel so weak!

My husband, father of my kids
Is the one now causing me this pain
He is a stranger to me now
When did he go so insane?

I feel I can't take much more
I can smell he's had too much to drink
But why hurt me in front of our two lil girls?
Please just stop and think

Can't you see how scared they are?
Their daddy has turned into a monster
Making their mommy bleed and cry
They don't understand why he's doing this to her!

I look up begging you to stop
This only angers you more
Kick&punch, slap&pull, hit&push
Me until I am laying on the floor

I'm trying to hold on for my babies
But it's getting darker and I see a bright light
NO!!! I can't leave my girls with this evil man
I try to turn from the light, I really do fight

Please, God, I plead, my girls need me
It's too soon, it's not my time to go
I have so much yet to see and do
I need to be there while my babies grow

Walk them to their first day of school
Read them stories, tuck them in at night
Pack their lunches, help them with homework
Teach them to ride bikes and fly a kite

Listen to them talk about their crushes
Be their shoulder to cry on when he breaks their hearts
Dry their tears tell them it will be okay
This is only just the start

I need to watch them go to high school
Be there crying and clapping when they graduate
Send them off to college
Probably far away, in another state

Be there on their wedding day
Fixing their veil and pretty white dress
Seeing such happiness in their eyes
Knowing I gave them the best, nothing less

Being there when their first baby is born
Holding my grandchild in my arms
Knowing I've lived a long life
And kept my babies away from harm

But God says no it isn't meant to be
He pulls me to the light up ahead
The clouds open up and I see the angels
I know it's too late, now I'm dead

I look down to Earth and see my babies crying
They know something is not right
Their mommy lays so quiet and still
Why won't she get up and make everything alright?

From up here, I see the red and blue sirens
The neighbors heard and called 911
They were just 5 minutes too late
And now my life is done!

Remember girls, your mommy loves you
I will be with you on every special day of your life
You may not see me, but you'll feel my love
Because I'll be smiling down on you from up above!
