Somewhere over the rainbow..... <br /> <br /> <br />As she wipes her tears from her blackened eyes, <br />She gazed towards the stars wondering why, <br />Her heart felt so broken through her chest, <br />Everday she was great but today wasnt her best, <br />He hit her again leaving only bruises this time, <br />She wondered if wanting to die was a crime, <br />With her popular hospital visits late at night, <br />She never got used to this and desperately wanted to fight, <br />He controlled her life and he controlled her thoughts, <br />Such a shame at this point her love could be bought, <br />All her friends voices silenced with disappointment in the air, <br />Most the time her lifeless spirit made her feel she wasnt there, <br />Her feelings were numbed and cold in shame, <br />To where only a lifeless fake smile would remain, <br />She waited at home ready to fight back tonight, <br />But that night he was no where in sight, <br />As her eyes closed heavy and she fell into sleep, <br />Suddenly she woke to everything she wished to see, <br />The lights all around filled her with joy, <br />And then she finally got to see her little boy, <br />She knew she was going to be happy till the end of her days, <br />Because that man took her life away.. <br /> <br />by - melissa ann franks <br />I wrote this to help awareness on abuse.
