Reality

The more she runs
The more you chase
She tries to hide
Won’t look at your face

She hides all the bruises
But the black eye is still there
You tell her you're sorry
And pretend that you care

She's wanted to leave you
Wanted to get out
"I'd like to see you try!"
Is what you'd always shout

She tried to tell her family
Oh so many times
But nobody believed her
Nor stood by her side

She's all on her own
But has finally found a way
So when she hits you back
You stare in dismay

Now the more you run
The more she will chase
You try to hide
You feel disgraced

She says that its over
And you know its true
You're done tormenting
She has finally pulled through

Her family is now free of your horrid spell
Now they stand by her side. This is her tale

This may seem a little surreal
Like playing pretend
But it happens every day
Like a fashion trend

This is reality
