She laughed and teased,
He beat her.
She cooked for him,
He beat her.
She washed and cleaned the house,
He beat her.
She was sweet to his parents,
He beat her,
While she waited and prayed for things to change.
She grew old and ugly,
He ignored her.
She grew tired and slatternly,
He ignored her.
She grew morose and dull,
He ignored her.
While she waited and prayed for an end to come.
No one cooked for him,
And he missed her.
No one hugged him in the night,
And he missed her.
No one heard his rants and raves,
And he missed her.
No one caressed his tired head,
And he missed her.
Their story was meant to be a happy one.
