Pretty Pink Sheets
She lies alone
In her princess bed
Those bright pink blankets
Strewn across
Her pretty room
Those beautiful eyes
Are filled with tears
Curled in a ball
She'll cry herself to sleep
The pain's so much
Bruises of black and blue
Cover her back
Her face is swollen
From the mark of his fist
Upon her face
Lying there
In the middle of her bed
She wonders once again
What she did wrong
To anger him
As he gets closer to her
She leaves behind
Everyone
That truly cares
Just can't see
What he's doing to her
She blames herself
Every night
While crying herself to sleep
The thoughts pass
Through her mind
Every time he throws her to the wall
Blood running down her face
As she screams in pain
Taking her head
Within his hand
He blames her
For his bad life
Smashing it to the wall
Over and over again
After he's threw
He apologizes again
With a cold pack on her face
Tears stream down her face
Thanking to god
That he'd take her back
Condescending lies
Pour out of his mouth
How he will love her forever
Promising
Never to hurt her again
Later that night
He's drunk again
In the tiny apartment
No one listens to her screams
They turn their eyes
Unwilling
To get involved
They will listen to her screams
Till the day
He'll finally make them stop
Every night
She lies within her room
Blood all over
Her bright white sheets
Another "lesson"
On how he loves her
When her old friends
She got rid of
After he told her
How much he cared
Call her now and then
Her voice is shaky
He's got his gun
Placed to her head
While she cuts the conversation
Down to one word
He does this to her
Out of love
That's what
She's come to believe
Controlling her life
When she sleeps
When she'll die
She's become a slave
To this madman
The one that loves her
With gag in her mouth
He pounds her stomach
Till she vomits
Red blood
Running from
Those once beautiful lips
Her sparkling eyes
Dead and dull
She looks on
Through the pain
To what she believes
Is eternal love
For all his pain
Of another day
He slits her wrists
With a hunting knife
Severing the connection
Of life
To death
As the blood pools
Within the room
He kicks her
Till the life bleeds
Out of her
He apologizes
One last time
Leaving his knife
Within her chest
A beautiful princess
Leading a fairytale life
Till she met her prince
Who only brought pain
To a loving girl
That lost connection
To reality
Everyone
That could have saved her
Was pushed away
In the end
Lying upon
Her pink bed
Stained red
With her blood
Those dull lifeless eyes
Staring up
Towards Heaven
A smile upon
Those bloodless lips
