I see the tear drops on your pillow. I know the pain you feel inside. everytime you hear his name
             You turn around and cry
Well I tried to warn you, tried to give you advice
          You didn't heed my warnings
So he abused you by day, he abused you by night
You came to my house screaming in your fright
                  that I was right
I soothed you through the hours, made sure you were
                      All right
You returned to his arms, with the promises he
                        made
          He slit your throat the night
      And now I stand above your tombstone
                        And
           shed tear drops upon your grave
                Pray for forgiveness
       Slowly turn away in search of revenge
              For that horrible day
       As the same demons lead me astray.

I'm a dying romantic and when i can no longer write i can no longer live -Jeremiah Johnson-

This is so very sad ... and unfortunately, so very real for women in abusive situations~
Should be read by so many~
