To look at me you would not think
That I was once at the very brink
Looking over the cliff, at the fall
Thinking will he end it all?
So many times he came so near
Strangling me one could smell my fear
What is it that could be worse
He threw knife at our infant girl I place a curse
Screams I yelled and none were heard
No neighbors answered not a word
Til one came late and walked right by
I reached out, call the police I cried
So in return for physical and mental abuse
I hope for you bad karma times three for my amuse
Author notes
Unfortunatly this actually happened to me. But I got away thanks to someone walking by and my daughter unharmed.
