Not What She Expected

She wears long-sleeves to cover up the scars of self-hate
She coats her face with makeup to cover up a black eye
She wraps a scarf around her neck to hide the handprints
She chopped off all her hair to disguise the bald spot

He calls her stupid, worthless and constantly disrespects her
He wants her to shut up, so he wraps his hands around her throat
He can't stand her presence, so he smacks her around
He wishes she'd disappear so he pulls her hair throwing her to the ground

She thought she married the man of her dreams
But he has become the monster of her nightmares
She thought he loved her more than anything in this world
But he loves everything in this world more than her

He doesn't love her anymore; she doesn't think he ever did
She doesn't mean anything to him, she knows she never did
He hates her for all this time he feels has been wasted
She hates herself for not being what he wants

He blames her for ruining his life, and demeans her daily
She hurts everywhere physically, emotionally, and mentally
He takes pleasure in hurting the one he promised to love and cherish
She's ready to give up, she just wants out, she just wants it to end
