Cheating

As I sit here by the door

I wonder where he's gone.

He hasn't called for quite some time

It's been just way too long.

I guess he's just not coming

Or else he'd be here now

I have no idea where he could be

It's time to throw in the towel

I'm taking a shower

Now I'm ready for bed

He's still not here

Many questions run through my head

Have I done something wrong?

Where could he be?

Did I chase him away?

Is he cheating on me?

I loved him

And I thought he loved me

I guess I was wrong

But how can this be

We were a happy family

Filled with joy and emotion

We couldn't be torn apart

We were glued together with love and devotion

Well I guess that glue is withering away

To almost nothingness now

I can't hold on to him much longer

I just don't know how

He's finally home

And I ask him where he's been

He tells me to mind my own business

His breath, the smell of gin

He's been drinking,

He starts to yell,

He grabs my wrist,

And here comes hell.

I look at him closely

And see a pair of crimson red lips

I figure out what he's done

As he's breaking my finger tips

I try to free my wrist

I can't, he's far too strong

His hand starts squeezing at my neck

Death can't be too far along

Our relationship is over

And my life is slipping away

I want to make it all better

I don't want to die today.

I start to become unconscious

My sight is turning black

I can't feel a single thing

Except my aching back

I wake up in some place

I've never seen before

I look down at the ground

There's a cloud instead of a floor

Is this heaven?

Could it really be?

Did I die last night

From him choking me?

I guess its so

But I'm glad to be free

Never again will I be treated

The way he treated me.
