She smiles to cover up the pain

Tired of the bullshit she’s heard over and over again

Bruises, scars and thrown to the floor

She begs and pleads, she can’t take it anymore

Trying to leave

She pushes and fights

She yells and screams

9 months ago you killed

 

The man she loved

No longer lived there

The pain he caused cut deep inside

It all started with one lie

“I want a son I can call my own”

Helpless and alone

A decision had to be made

Bring forth a life or return to a broken home

9 months ago you killed me

Entering the clinic doors

Women are seated to the left and right

Tall, short, Black, Hispanic and some even White

All battling the same fight

“Why me?” she says

What did I do to deserve such a hole in my heart?

The love I once had

Has fallen from these hands

Now torn apart

9 months ago you killed me

 

The room around me is closing in

Sweat trickles down my face

Throat gets dry, hair stands still

Heartbeat rises at a rapid pace

If I let you live you would never know

If I let you die the guilt will only continue to grow

The damage has been done

There’s nothing I can do

But give you the world

And always love you

The smile I had to cover up the pain

Has faded away because you have now came

I’ve pushed and fought

I’ve yelled and screamed

9 months ago you killed me
