A Whisper in my ear she tells me of her wows
She is saddened by her thoughts of pain and endless loneliness
Should she tell him she wants to leave
There is no more room for the bruises or scars
She runs out of stories to tell her friends and family
Each time she looks at him she remembers who he once was
So happy, full of hope and ideas for the future
So kind and gentle
She always waited for his soft gentle touch
His kiss, his look
Then one day he lost his job
All hope for the future was gone
His Perrier water was replaced by beer
A non smoker became a smoker of almost anything
The hitting began as she went off to work
To take his place as the bread winner
His pride so hurt
He could no longer be the man of her dreams
She left that place
To start a new
Alone you see can sometimes be for the best
