SHE CAME FROM A GOOD FAMILY
RAISED PROPER AND RIGHT
FOLLOWED ALL THE GOLDEN RULES
PRAYED TO GOD AT NIGHT
THEN ONE DAY SHE MET A BOY
AND QUICKLY FELL IN LOVE
SHE BELIEVED THAT HE WAS SENT
TO HER FROM HEAVEN ABOVE!!
IN ONE SHORT YEAR SHE BECAME A MOTHER AND A WIFE
BUT HER SWEET SMILE DISAPPEARED,
HE HAD CHANGED HER LIFE.

NOBODY KNEW HER SECRET
NOBODY FELT HER PAIN
NOBODY SAW THE BRUISES
SHE THOUGHT SHE"D GO INSANE!

ALL THE GOOD SHE SAW IN HIM
SUDDENLY TURNED TO BAD
SHE WOULD SUFFER FOR EVERTHING
IN THE WORLD THAT MADE HIM MAD!!!!!
BECAUSE OF LOVE FOR FAMILY
SHE WOULD TAKE ALL SHE COULD
HOPING THAT HE WOULD CHANGE
BECAUSE HE SAID "HE WOULD"
THEN ONE NIGHT HE WENT TO FAR
BUT HE REALLY NEVER MEANT TO
WHAT A PRICE SHE HAD TO PAY
JUST BECAUSE SHE LOVED YOU!!

NOBODY KNEW HER SECRET
NOBY KNEW HER PAIN
NOBODY SAW THE BRUISES
SHE THOUGHT SHE"D GO INSANE

WHEN ALL THINGS WERE SAID AND DONE
I HEARD PEOPLE SAY-----
THEY ALWAYS KNEW THAT THIS WOULD END
IN JUST THIS WAY!!!!

SHE THOUGHT THAT-------
NOBODY KNEW HER SECRET
NOBODY KNEW HER PAIN
NOBODY SAW THE BRUISES
WERE THEY ALL INSANE?????

Denny...very tragic and sad, but in turn, very well written. It reads like lyrics, is it written as such? On more comment, after 1 1/2 years on the internet, I've come to see Caps as screaming or shouting...I sometimes have a very hard time reading a poem done in all caps for that reason. Let your words shout for themselves as they do so well in this particular piece.
Welcome to the group, looking forward to more.
