A couple of my poems

Scars

I see someone smile
I think, why can't that be me?
I wonder what their life is like
And in my mind I see
Years full of hated
A destroyed family
All because of someone
Who could never love me

A prince at first glance
He showed me the world
And little by little
Took away everything I loved
Though I wanted to be the very best I could
Nothing seemed to change, even though it should

So many times I tried
To make him understand
That his words cut to the bone
He claimed to be a man
To the children that saw me cry
I can never take it back
But mommy is safe now
Trying to get my life on track

Did he know what he was doing?
Was I really that bad?
All these years I questioned everything
Enough to drive me mad
And now I find it hard to trust
The little things in life
Will I ever get to know love
Or be a happy wife?

Is there someone out there for me
Who can understand?
And maybe take me by the hand
And prove to be a man
See I don't know if that's possible
Because no matter how hard I try
I see his face burnt my mind
And inside I slowly die

He took away my memories
Of happiness and love
He made me question everything
Even God above
Now everyday I awaken
To a new day, a new start
Then I step outside into the world
With these scars upon my heart


Another Day

Lightening crashes around us
It's been a long day
My eyes shut tight
As you lie next to me
You sleep it away

Nothing happened
It's all in your head
You know that I love you
The words that he said
I'm sorry, it won't happen again
It's just another day
Always the same end

Thunder rolling
He walks through the door
She's careful not to leave
A spec of dust on the floor
Everything is perfect
In her simple mind
All he wants is a perfect wife

Nothing happened
It's all in your head
You know that I love you
The words that he said
I said that I'm sorry
He holds me tight
Another day, a terrifying night

Her arms stretched out
To the child in so much pain
They're sure to be quiet
But he's at it again
Mother says that he loves us
She'll keep them safe
Someone comes and rips them away

Nothing happened
It's all in your head
No one will believe you
The words that he said
You're nothing without me
Inside I feel dead
Another day, I pray for an end

She's pushed to the floor
Screams out loud
Protects the child inside
But he's so proud
The man of the house
The scared little girl
Curled up in the closet
Safest place in her world

I can't pretend nothing happened
It's not all in your head
He'll never love you
The words that I said
Take life and run now
Or you'll end up dead
It was just another day, but it was the end
