Her Abuse

Why did she hurt you?
you were only sweet.
each day you became so blue,
after your daily beat.

you never deserved that black eye,
you never deserved to be hurt,
all she did was left you to die,
in the bloody dirt.

how can her heart be so black and cold?
how could she hurt you so?
the day the beatings finally got old,
is the day you finally decided to let go.

tired of holding on,
just to feel the pain,
you wonder what you did wrong,
to always receive her abusive pain.

now you lay with Him,
the pain she caused killed you that fatal night,
your soully light grew dim,
now you live in those heaven lights.
