She had to drink To numb whatever it was she had left It always was the scent of strawberries She got so good at knowing what would happen with him just by the smell She no longer fought it That would leave her with death treats and black eyes. Hands wrapped around her like a boa constrictor. If she fought That would be bad Better to pass out Then to draw attention to ones self and shout She didn't deserve the time of day or attention To keep her breathing All on a burning bed
