Speak of the happy times
forgetting the dark rages
when hell burned in your eyes
blood spattered
she flung
like a cheap rag doll
across the room
Oh but you're sorry
make-up will make it all better
buying her roses
only gives her something
to put on her grave
when that stray blow
finally connects
Sending her to the grave.

Ouch, A hard honest write, may they all burn for hurting loved ones.

Very well done.  I gotta put you in my library....

Yesterday is ash, tomorrow is smoke; only today does the fire burn.
Nil Desperandum, Fata viem invenient
