Abby's PainA Poem by Em Northnot sure where this came from but once i wrote it i didnt even know what to think...
Abby lays awake tonight So cold her skin feels tight. From tears that overflow her face; Abby’s pillow is a cold disgrace
Make-up streaming down her cheeks And the bruises he left will stay for weeks She tries to roll over and cries out in pain She’d run if only tonight had no rain But its stormy tonight and it wouldn’t be safe The thunder threatens like his voice booming echoing late She curls up wishing she were warm and safe. With the thoughts in her head she is better awake For they’d leave her in nightmares with trembles and shakes Abby’s boyfriend has hurt her you see Not only physically but mentally. He tells her shes no good. he’s the best she will find He beats her to pieces till she believes in her mind With all the yelling and with all the pain Abby no longer knows that life is to gain And then with a shudder on this cold rainy night Abby gets up and sneaks out of sight Out through the kitchen sneaks past the back door Opens a cupboard, her tip toes cold on the floor She reaches up high to what she knows is hidden Pulls out the gun he hides for good ridence The silencer’s on and the bullets in place Abby’s tear stricken face wishes gone from this place Its hell in her mind and the pain wont lose sight Her vision is blurred but this still seems right The weapon is cold and it burns in her hands Then he looks at her; questions and demands She raises this burning cold presence; the gun And in his eyes she sees her victory’s won He screams at her only for a second or two The gun’s at his head and then at hers head too As the gun shots echo a sad story’s end But there’s more to this story, just around the bend. Abby was only just seventeen Her boyfriend was Danger, he was twenty-three. Abuse is too common to laugh at and play For Abby it was real and it was every day. No one should have to endure such a life And Abby was tired of living in pain all her life Say goodbye to Abby, in heaven she’s well Say goodbye to her boyfriend may be rot in hell he'll lay there forever murdered by his own words And with him may abuse be gone from this world.
