When he hits her
With his fists,
She bleeds -
On the outside,
And when he hits her
With his words,
She bleeds -
On the inside.
Then he will bring her
A 'So Sorry, '
And tell her
Of his 'love, true love! '
And always,
Always,
He brings her
A blood red rose.
For battered women everywhere, and those who help them escape.
