\"BATTERED HEARTS\"

By birdnutt

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

'BATTERED HEARTS'' Tortured souls on earth we are, hearts burn so like distant stars. Suffer through our hopeless lives, no rest for all us battered wives. Tormented minds and broken hearts, spirits pierced like Satan's darts. So death would be a welcomed breeze, from all the things he's done to me. For in death I'll have some peace, the pain and hurt shall finally cease. A debt is owed and must be paid, and God shall have his final say.
