For Christina

Memories still linger of that devastating day
When she looked into my eyes and tried to find the words to say

I had no suspicions, I didn't have a clue
What that demented bastard was putting her through

His presence confined her like a cell
Turning her life into an agonizing hell

It was hard to listen, it was sickening to hear
And that this went on for more then a year

She would sit terrified whipping away her tears, locked away in her room.
Listening to her music, trying to escape her hell, she would turn up the volume

She would tremble, with just the echo of his voice,
She didn't want to live with him, but she had no choice

She felt sick to her stomach by the smell of his cologne
She would beg him to leave her alone.

She knew what he had in store for her every night
She knew there was no sense to put up a fight.

She would lie in bed at night, filled with fear
As she heard his foot steps near

She knew what he was coming for
When he opened up her bedroom door.

Underneath her blankets she would hide
She was aching on the inside.

He left her emotionally scarred, with every touch
She never hated someone so much,

People can be cruel is what she had always been told
But never had she imagined someone being so cold

even though this is now in the past
Those horrible memories will always last

I wanted her to know, she was very courageous and strong,
And what he did to her was wrong.
