I fall to the ground.
You tell me I’m worthless
You kick and you punch
But I don’t fight back
I just wait
Wait for my punishment to be over

I go to sleep hoping I wake up the next morning

I wake up
And I’m happy
Your not there
I go on and get ready for work

Covering up my bruises
Covering the truth
Covering my secret life


So I don’t have to lie
But I will if I have to

Nobody notices
Nobody ever notices

I come home
And your still not there.

I have time to get my things
I get your big suit case
Pack every thing I can

I hear the door slam
I rush and I panic

One shot fired
Sirens a few moments later

Bloody hands, bloody clothes,
And a dead husband.

Self defense or murder?
