A pillow swims in salty tears
Puffy and swollen are her eyes
One day to the other blends as many
An un tanned line on her finger evidence she cant leave behind
Torn heart and a broken arm
She waits till early morning
He sleeps sound as her feet touch the ground
So careful not to make a sound in her closet she has found
A large duffel bag she packs without a sound
Barefoot she makes her way through the night
Leaving the beatings and bruises behind
She welcomes her new life
