Concerned Over The Badge

What did you do ?


The knock at the door shook my core

I saw the blank stare don’t act like you care .


I sense your fear , why are you scared my dear ?


It’s okay I’m fine just had little too much wine yesterday , she quick to hide the mark on her skin a bruise so she doesn’t spark more rage please don’t note it on your page .


What did you do ?


The door shuts I anticipate the tone so deep it wasn’t long until I began to weep don’t make me send you to sleep .


Why the hell would you Phone the police , you know I’ve only just been realised ?


The fist swings as a notification pings I’m gonna leave and meet up with the boys to seal the deal .


What did you do ?


Everyday he yells and I’m used to it can’t you tell the way my voice has no choice to be silent to avoid any more violence .


How many times do you have to bleed to realise you really need to freed of his so called love ?


You wanted to change him you believed it was possible if only you knew the happiness he gave would send you to your grave .
