Her mind was cluttered
with thoughts of him
she replayed the tape
again and again
What did she do this time
words she can't take back
she knows he is gone
she made him attack
"I know it's my fault", she chants over again
I should have shut up
this can't be the end!
She looks towards the mirror
The bruises are fresh
"I know I deserved them" she says under her breath
Her eyes were so swollen, she could hardly see
Then the door opened,
Yes it was he!
Roses in hand
A smile, a soft kiss...
She smiles back
the bruises fade away
Her love is back, at least for today...
