She Wonders Why

by Nick Gisburne





She is blinded by the memories of blood
She is sickened by the aftershocks of pain
She remembers how it felt
All the suffering she dealt
From the darkness in her disconnected brain

He had always had it coming
He was always meant to die
But she shivers in the shade and wonders why

He was nothing but a gentleman at first
But the flowers and the kisses couldn’t last
She remembers how it felt
When he struck her with his belt
And the fever of his rage before it passed

He had always had it coming
He was always meant to die
But she shivers in the shade and wonders why

In the summer’s heatwave somehow she was cold
When she woke beside the man she loved she cried
She remembers how it felt
When the final blow she dealt
Took away the seeds of hope she stored inside

He had always had it coming
He was always meant to die
But she shivers in the shade and wonders why

In the aftershocks of pain
In her disconnected brain
She wonders why
He made her cry
