 Broken
His mind is wasted, full of hate
Beaten and broken on the ground I wait
Fighting for life, itching to breath
Wanting to live, praying for him to leave
I feel no pain and all I can do is cry
Thinking of what I did wrong
That make him take that drive
He left for a moment and came back with a gun
Wishing I could move, so I can get up and run
Telling him “ I'm sorry” and that I still love him
Hoping he'll let me live for many years to come
Crying some more and asking him “ Please!!!
spare  my life.”
I push and I struggle and I try crawling to my knees
Closing my eyes
I hear him cock the pistol
I yell at him “ I am your wife remember?”
“ I am Crystal !”
I heard the gun go off
Then a “thud” right by my side
Opening my eyes
Shaking with fear
He's on the floor bleeding and gasping for air
I lean close to his lips
My face drenched  with tears
I hear him say  “ I'm sorry dear.”
And with that one last breath
He faded away
Beaten and broken on the ground I still lay
