The glint of a knife,
The pieces of her broken dreams,
The terror of her life.
The bruises no-one sees,
From punches, hits and kicks,
No-one ever thought
That she would end up like this.
A few years ago she was gorgeous,
Popular and fun,
But now all she knows what to do,
Is scream, hide and run.
A life pulled to pieces,
A person scared and in pain
Becuase her husband treats her bad,
She is just too tame.
But she can't escape his anger
Let alone walk out the door
Her abuses her,
Making their realationship turn into a war.
Names that offend her go without response,
His brutality and fierceness
Prove the darkest desires he wants.
She just stays in one place,
Not even trying to stand up
But now all head-strongness is gone with no trace....
You leave the protection
Your Mother's womb,
The power that drove you out,
The one who helped you escape still doom.
I am the sun
That you first set sight on
My rays affected you,
Sending my warth
All the way through.
My star guided you,
Through the challenges,
The wings that helped you flew.
A bright star to your right,
I made your life an easy flight.
I gave a purpose
To live and love,
While you were on the ground,
I was watching from above.
I am Eve.
I am your Mother,
Daughter, Sister
And more, Your soul, spirit and fire,
The beam that helped you to the shore.
In your dying hour,
I will still always be with you,
To lead you to my eternal tower.
My promise to you is paradise,
You have my word, pure and true.
I will be there for you,
Years, decades, centuries and even more,
Taking care of you is
My one and only righterous law.
