Waiting for dawn

She is waiting for dawn,
When the dewdrops will sit
On every blade of grass
and the sky will be lit,
With just enough light
To see but not be seen,
as she dissapears softly
Just like a waking dream.

She clutches her bag,
Her hands start to shake.
As the panic rises
her will starts to break.
Just a few minutes more,
Another cup of tea
Then she'll leave this sad life
And finally be free.

She stands at the door
Breathing in the fresh air
She know deep down
Its the last chance if she dares.
No more telling lies,
No more scared for her life,
No more breaks and bruises
No more being his wife.

Her blood on his hands
Too many times
Too many times
He has broken her down.
Tears on her face
As she runs faster,
Her heart thumping
As she leaves this place.
