Til Death do Us Part (pt 2) -------------------------------------------
She stopped to look at the moon
Making them both miss the bus
She wore a tight dress and heels
Causing other men to stare
She forgot he’d be home early
And didn’t have dinner ready
She didn’t set his alarm
And he was late for his meeting
She knew she deserved his love
That he showed through her bruises
It only hurt for awhile
And it was after all her fault
When they asked her what happened
Through tears and sobs she shrugged
She didn’t know why someone killed him
He was the only man in her world
She stared at her father with hate
He looked at her not understanding
Wondering if he’d ever see again
The beautiful daughter lost beneath blacks & blues
He said they’d be together forever
‘Til death do they part
He promised her that one day
He’d kill her and then himself
What is most hard to accept is how abused women rationalize the abuser's behavior and "buy in" to accepting the blame. I must admit you have me thinking about my own father and his reactions to boys I dated. I'm certainly going to read part three. Sharon
Well... I guess he didn't get to keep that promise.
"She didn’t know why someone killed him"
That's interesting, but I believe it.
I can't help but admit it pisses me off though. I don't even have sympathy for those people anymore. I probably shouldn't feel that way, but if someone chooses to put up with that, then I really don't care... I'm too tired to. I've seen so much of it that I'm just sick of it now, you know?
Also, my dad will happily shoot at anyone who even looks at me wrong, so I understand her father too. Don't worry though... he's on some good medication now to control his behavior. ;)
Anyway, I love this one too. The details really pulled me in.
