Cill

He raises his fist to hit her one more time
It has been this way since becoming his wife
Afterwards he will apologize
And try to make it better with bribes

She lies there crying in her own blood
She honestly thinks this is love
She gets beat no matter what she does
As she raises she asks for help from God above

She cleans the wounds on her body
She knows it is time for her to leave
The pain she feels  is excruciating
She decides to depart while he is asleep

Later that night she packs small stuff
The last thing she grabs is a gun
She hates that she has to pack up and run
But she has had enough: she is done

Her trembling body heads for the door
She then feels a hit once more
She grabs the gun that fell on the floor
She has had enough that is for sure

She fires a shot and hits his chest
He hits the floor gasping for a breath
She knows that he will soon be dead
Out of sympathy she puts a bullet in her own head

Later both bodies were found
Together they were placed in the ground
She will no longer be beat down
She is in Gods care now

Never be a victim of abuse
Never set back and be used
Never let anyone hurt you
Stand up for yourself; no matter what you have to do

When I leave this world, please do not cry,
For I have gone up with the spirits in the sky.
Do not place flowers by my side,
For I never got them when I was alive.

Do not dress in fancy clothes;
Dress as you would if I were at home.
Play the songs I have requested,
For this is what I have always wanted.

Do not say how great I was;
Keep those memories between us.
Instead, celebrate the times we have had;
Remember the good, forget the bad.

This is my only final request:
That you do not cry when I am laid to rest.
Remember that my spirit will be with you.
I am still going to be there to see you through.

One last time, do not cry.
Celebrate my memories and life.
Keep my memories in your heart,
For we will never be far apart.

The smallest, most simple dream
Is worth being achieved.
The smallest grain of faith
Is actually all it takes.

Having one person who believes in you
Is a major help, too.
Never give up on any of your dreams.
With faith, love, and support, you can do anything.

If you have to stand alone,
Your dreams will still be your own.
If someone shares a dream with you,
Work with them so it will come true.

Do not let anything stand in your way;
Do not worry about what pessimists say.
Your dreams can come true someday;
You know exactly what it takes.
