She sits in her room Scared and alone He's out there looking for her She wont pick up the phone She has bruises on her body From when he beat her She pulls her cover over her head Rocks back and forth wishing she were dead Her friends and family warned her But she didn't listen So she sits crying Trying not to miss him She's still in love with him But doesn't know what to do She closes her eyes And thinks of something new

I wrote this poem because at the time my best friend Melissa was in an abusive relationship, the man would pound on her bedroom windows at night to scare her, he would hide in her trees in the dark, he would threaten her friends and family, he'd beat her when she was trying to drive, he'd threaten to kill himself if she left him, he was her worst fear, I HATE that he did that to her. Any man who is a coward enough to do such things to a woman needs help.
