Scars
stains on her dress,
scars on her face.
what did she do
to deserve this treatment?
did she say something wrong?
was it the way she looked?
she will never know the answer.
so she sits in the conner
crying and waiting alone in the dark
waiting for him to return home
with a gun in her hands,
she waits.......
shaking and trembling,
she waits.......
his car pulls up,
anxious and nervous,
she waits.......
he unlocks the door,
the doorknob moves,
standing and shaking,
she waits.......
the door opens,
her pulse increasing rapidly,
she waits.......
