The hurt she carries suffocates her so

Life for her is one that she can't let go

Her unhappiness is hidden from all eyes

Look deep enough, you will hear the cries

From her life with him she cannot walk

To fearful of his cruelty to try to talk

The thoughts she has are locked away

Saved for a time when she has a brave day

His abuse is using words of sheer spite

It's dragged her down, she's a pitiful sight

She blames herself for her failure with men

If only she'd get it, it's not her it's them

She is scared, fearful of what may come

Tries to pretend her life's not so glum

Into an empty bottle of wine she cried

Revealed how she had been feeling deep inside

The bruises are invisible to the eye

Keeping her secret a secret, and the lies a lie

No one knows that she needs them now

For the bruises cannot be seen somehow

Only she knows that they are there upon her

Every remark, look, snide comment and slur

Only she can reach out, for a helping hand

To be released from the words of an abusive man
