Abuse


How far will he push her?
How much can she stand?
He has raised his fist to hit her.
His temper she can't understand.
A fist in the mouth, shes down and out.
Shaking his hand he stands over her.
A small little whisper turned into a shout
the police arrive, a hospital stay.
what really is going to save her?
a restraining order to keep him away?
She gets home, seconds before him.
she ready this time, its in the hands of her
raised a pistol and life goes dim.
How far will he push her,
How much will she stand.
Its so different when the power is in her hand.
