Heaven To Hell

He’d come to her room like he thinks he belongs
She’d suffer in silence remembering the wrongs
He took without asking once she was his wife
And strangled the good from her once happy life
 
As months turned to years all she had was her pride
It carried her through when all else in her died
A heart filled with love takes a long time to break
Believing his lies was her biggest mistake
 
She held to the dream of the man she once knew
Who told her with passion that he loved her too
So wanting the man that she knew he could be
Instead of this stranger of hostility
 
She touches the swelling on her lower lip
A gift from his most recent meth party trip
Two children she gave him, both gone long ago
A boy and a girl who she never will know
 
Taken far away like her faraway dreams
Only her misery to share her silent screams
The sounds of a nightmare nobody can hear
She lived out a life filled with sorrow and fear
 
She looked at his body now dead on the floor
Now free from all pain, no more hurt anymore
Steps over his body, lays down on the bed
And closing her eyes puts the gun to her head
