Beauty Bruises
By Dragonfly
Her beauty was a flower
Not yet in full bloom
Her heart held
all the power
To make her dreams come true
He loved her
withe a fire
He loved her on a whim
His lust was always dire
When it came to skin on skin
She was mamma's little angel
Stayed away from sin
But her path would soon be strangled
When
she fell in love with him
The ways that he would mark her
To let them know she's "mine"
The ways that he would stalk her
Never gave her time
He was in love with that church girl
Prayed to the sound of her name
Never knew another world
When
it was gone he went insane
She sits alone with bruisees
And eats her morning brunch
When she comes home latter
She
will meet a drunkard's punch
Midnght stars andshiny cars
Isall sheneeded to love
Midnightstars seem so far
When her
life is now above.
Save her
