Broken Heart and Bruises
By Paul Wilson

The choice hers too make...stay or go
Stay and the pain and lies won't end
Go and her heart will surely break
Today he says... I'm sorry again

How many beatings can she take?
How many lies must she believe?
Long sleeves and makeup hide the bruises
Nothing can hide the pain you leave

She spends her life in fear of you
Memories she'd rather not recall
Who will pick up the pieces
She feels like a shattered porcelain doll

This merry go round that she's on
Keeps spinning out of control
One day everything is just fine
The next day you are so cold

She's made the only choice she can
She must leave you and walk away
If she stays with you any longer
Your anger might kill her one day

It's hard to love someone
That always lies and abuses you
It's harder too leave someone
That you love...but doesn't love you

The Sun will shine on her again
She'll find someone else you'll see
She had no choice but too leave
Today from you she is finally free

Paul,  I know someone as well....one who
struggles to be loved, enduring the hate
and the pain....leaving it briefly, only
to return again....such a struggle, and so
so many heartaches...for all who love them,
truly love them.
