She Will Never Again

She will never again have a man in her life
For five years she lived as an abused wife
With her six year old daughter she feels happier today
As single and contented she is determined to stay

Sad stories of her five years of marriage she has of to tell
The man she loved and married did not treat her well
His beatings on her took their mental and physical toll
She feels glad he has found another woman for to control

But alcohol is a thing that he cannot blame
For his violent aggression and acts of shame
Since his alcohol intake is known to be small
He is violent without any liquor in him at all

Before they were married love between them did bloom
On their wedding day he did look her handsome groom
But when married his real self he no longer did hide
And love between them it was quick to subside

Her happy days with him were only in the few
Last year he left her for somebody new
The tears she shed at his leaving were not tears of grief
But tears of joy at her sense of relief

In her early thirties not even a middle aged woman
In her life there will never be another man
Brown haired and attractive and lovely to behold
She has vowed that as single she will grow old.
