Could Be Anywhere...

Trapped?

Sharp, piercing words...she cries
covers her ears in pain.
Big, tough, stupid bully boy
making his lady cower...
He’s angry over money, of course
Justified? Indeed!  It’s silliness!
He’s got every right to yell!
Teach her a lesson, damn right!
Later; when her tears have fallen
when her heart is broken
when she feels so very alone...

He says; “please forgive me,baby...
you know you can count on me.
I’m so sorry, I’m here for you.
I’ll always be here for you, my love”
“Baby, when you are frightened
when your world kicks you
when I make you cry the most...”
“My love, you can count on me.
I’ll hold your hand
especially after we’ve been bad.”
“Please lady, let me comfort you.
I’ll always be here for you
please baby, I love you so.”
“Please forgive me,
let me kiss those tears away.
Let me say, I’m sorry
let me be your loving man.
Oh baby, see my tears mingle
I cry your cry once more
I regret my anger a thousand times.”
“I am here for you, my love
if you will have me...
may I hold you now?
Will you let me dry your tears?
I love you, my lady.”

And once again, she lovingly trusts
sealing with salty tears his forgiveness
until next time...

Love comes in many ways but it does not come with cruelty to one you are pledged to cherish.  Joyce

you only get a second chance one time...
*sigh*
redemption is nothing if the words are hollow.
it's sad because those hollow generic phrases are the real words that actually come spouting forth.
well captured.

Yeah never trust a a man that says all that in one breath. But very relistic and sad.

I breathe the dust, the dust is me.

Sounds an awfully lot like my first marriage. Very sad. Very well expressed, Daniel.
