Too strong for her, she could fight no more She felt her helpless body fling towards the floor The words no longer mattered they rang deaf upon her ears She no longer felt the salty sting in the wounds from her tears Too many disappointments in this time she had called life Too many wrong choices she made while she was his wife So many broken promises that it never would happen again She should have seen the signs before she let it all begin She heard the angels crying as they came to take her away She no longer had the will to ask to let her stay Battered and confused she knew not the reasons why The clarity had not set in that on this day someone did die Too insecure in her own skin to feel the cuffs upon her wrist The only thing in her sight was the memory of his fist And a vision in the background of the blast of anger and fire As he taunted and teased her, and again called her a liar Too strong for her-the fights are forever now all through And deep inside the reality of what she always knew The end for them one day would come as 'til death do they part Cemented in stone it became with the final beating of his heart She would pay the price for love forever locked inside a cell And for her it seemed that this destination was just as well A secret she would keep forever to her grave Her daughter pulled the trigger, her life was worth the save. Let my words fall first upon deaf ears before a closed mind... |

AZBlond~ Wow ! So frightfully real ... compelling to the end. And .... what an ending it was. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

**Bows** Thank you all for your comments. It has been too long since last I wrote...hopefully time won't slip away like that again. Let my words fall first upon deaf ears before a closed mind... |

You sure got my vote on this one and I guess this means its back to the front page. I can feel(scares,etc) just what she went through(literally) I have been in that situation but not to the full extreme. It sure brought back some memeries  hugs, Heather< !signature--> Without the experiance of love where would we be? We would have no wonderful memeries to cherish. With love it brings hurts and with hurts it brings bittersweet memories [This message has been edited by Heather Miller (edited 07-27-2000).] |

I am so flattered that this piece has received all of your comments. Thank you! As for the meaning of azblond...hmmm...more of a location and discription than a pen name! |
