the withered rose

the withered rose

A Poem by joseph2929

It was your average way of meeting in this world
Girl meets boy and boy meets girl
She thought he was the one he thought she was aswell
But you can fall out of heaven straight down to hell
6 months in and bickering turned to heated arguing
She accused him of cheating he just said she was retarded
She said I think it's time we parted and tried to leave the apartment
He punched her in the face and that's when the beatings started
Months of mental and physical abuse she couldn't see a way out
When he left for work he'd lock the doors and take all the keys to the house
He told her family and friends she was crazy and they believed him
She felt trapped with no freedom
He said he would find and kill her if she ever tried to leave him
One day she was thinking about how her life's ruined
Wishing she could rewind to a time she never knew him
She hears his keys in the door she reaches in the draw
He walks in and she drives the knife right threw him
It was innocent love she never knew if would lead to this position
Now he's in the cemetery and she's in a prison.....
