Beaten

Writer's Cramp Entry~A friend just passed yesterday after being beaten by her boyfriend.

A half-empty glass sat on the table
She rose to her feet and tried to get stable

A throbbing headache, bruises everywhere
Why did she bother, why did she still care

Her mind is nailed shut and filled with deep fear
She knows she never will escape from here

Stuck in a enormous spider web trap
Instead of hello, he gives her a slap

They had said their vows, till death do they part
She had given this man her soul and heart

He showed his love by beating her half dead
She had taken the last hit to her head

She decided then to give up the fight
She laid down on the floor, this her last night

Closing her eyes she felt herself slip away
She was not taking it another day

She saw the light, it was so bright and pure
This was the right choice, she knew for sure

She left this earth by the hands of a man
Women of the world, please take a stand
