NEVER AGAIN The tears of the children begin to fall Through blackened eyes we look in awe For the one true love is the one to blame But refuses to accept the shame With slaps and punches the romance begins But this domestic they will never win To be in total control is their goal As they love that feeling to their very soul We hear, “I love you, I’ll never do it again” But hatred and suffering is all we gain Marriage and children never make it right When the purpose is always to fight For time heals all and it will be better But as you lay on the floor, could you be any deader? It starts with the pain deep inside But without some help it cannot subside We must work to stop Domestic Violence all as one For our work together has just begun The strength and support must be shared by all Before another victim starts to fall To hear a child ask, “Where is my Mother? Brings a sadness like no other I’ve heard those words from the child With every though I feel more riled I hear those words over and over again But still cannot stop the pain There are no words that can explain The hurt that will always remain For all those who Domestic Violence shares the touch The need for understanding they will always clutch As true love has nothing to do with pain and strife Only happiness between two people all through their life 10032007 RWL
