Believing the Lies

by Lauren

He's sitting next to her in their room,
and on his shirt,
she smells perfume...

She tries to stay strong,
when everything is going wrong.
As she softly asks him "whose is this?"
He punches her with his fist.
And as tears well up in her eyes,
she slowly starts to cry...

After he realizes what he's done,
he tells her "I'm so sorry, Hun.
I'll never do it again,
or my soul will die in sin"

And she believes him.
Not because she doesn't know any better,
but because she wants it to be true so badly.
And she's in love with him, madly.
