Him

She hears the key in the door,
her heart sinks to the floor,
What will tonight bring,
A smile or that fist in a brutal swing.

She vows that whatever happens tonight,
Whether he's a pussycat or a beast with might,
She will no longer endure,
Because in her heart, she's found the cure.

You see her bellies full, she's had enough,
Her heart is soft, she's not tough,
Yet her strength shines from within,
She now knows she can live without him.

She takes a breath, she opens the door,
Her heart no longer on the floor,
She doesn't know what tomorrow will bring,
But she knows it won't be with him.
