She sits trembling with fear as tears slide down her face <br />She hears his car back firing in the driveway as he ends this chase <br />He’s been stalking her and she runs once again for her life <br />Dear god in heaven, how could she have let him make her his wife <br /> <br />She has to sleep with a knife under her pillow, in case he should break in <br />She wouldn’t stand a chance, he’s so strong he would win <br />Moving real often now, hiding anywhere she can <br />If only he’d never find her, she must come up with a better plan <br /> <br />This time he keyed her car and ran her off the road <br />She’s so afraid of him, carrying such a load <br />He told her if he couldn’t have her, he wouldn’t let her live <br />Too many scars and broken bones for her to ever forgive <br /> <br />He’s told her they will find her body in a dumpster <br />She’s got small children, so this can’t occur <br />He finds where she works, and threatens all the time <br />She has a restraining order, he knows this is a crime <br /> <br />So many women have to face this fear, each and everyday <br />The ones they love most, a lot of times make them their prey <br />Why can’t we get involved, and try to help them get free <br />I know a lot about this, because them used to be me! <br /> <br /> <br />By Dogs4donna <br /> <br /> <br />© 2007 Dogs4donna (All rights reserved)<br /><br />Donna Nimmo<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/woman-on-the-run/
