I cannot imagine the suffering you recieve
on a day to day basis, and your only there to please
taken for granted at every turn
yearning for the day when your loving husband returns.

I cannot imagine being married to a monster
the man who at the beginning, was a knight in shining armour
who lifted you up off your feet
and who was awesome between the sheets.

I cannot imagine waking up to find
that the one you love overnight became blind
and all he saw and felt was hurt and bitterness
taking it out on you, causing you so much stress.

I cannot imagine what that feels like
to have and to hold every night
to wonder where it all went wrong
and was it your fault, why your loving man has gone.

I cannot imagine being battered and bruised
no fault of your own, everyday abused
the damage that, that man has caused
and you stay with him, what for

I cannot imagine what that feels like
keeping all that hurt hidden deep inside
one day though it will have to come out
hope that when it does, you are still about.
