So how do you feel after the bruise is gone?
How will you feel on that fresh new dawn?
How will you feel once he's really out of your life
How will you feel when you’re no longer his wife...
Will you still feel remorse after he's left
since off your back, him you did heft?
How do you feel when you don't get hit?
Do you think your still the piece of shit?
Your the only angel in my life now
and he won't hurt you anymore, I don't care how.
I don't wanna seem like the protective elder
I just wanna provide you love's shelter..
I don't want someone hitting a person I love
since affection has nothing to do with the drawing of blood.
So he thinks he’s king shit of town hitting a woman?
Why don't you come over here and try that on a real man?

Author's Note: I wrote this about a woman I knew who let her husband beat on her, thinking it was her fault...
