Wishing for a Love

as the old adage says...be careful of what you wish for

She felt the need for a man

So she prayed for a man to come

Her prayers were answered

When she met the love of her life

She wished for words of his love

He yelled at her with words of hate

She wished for romance

He made her his slave

She wished for a gentle touch

He hit her and gave her pain

She wished for his apologies

He said he did nothing wrong

She wished for a social life

He keeps her away from her friends

She wonders what she did to upset him

He tells her what every day

She will not leave him

She says the wounds will heal

She says it is all her fault

She could never leave him

After all he does love her

That was the last thing she said
