She tried her best to save her marriage at least she gave it her best try
And from her past mistakes she has learnt like they say ‘once bitten twice shy’.
She had seven years of married life and five of those years for her hell
And years from now she will remember yes she will remember too well
The beatings she received from her drunken husband as their two young children looked on
And they like their mother feel happy since out of their lives he has gone.
She married for love and love only but her feelings of love quickly soured
And years from now she will remember how beneath his cruel blows she cowered
Her children now ten and eleven feel happier without their dad
He often beat them and their mother and by him they were treated bad.
A woman in her early thirties she has only turned thirty two
And she vows she’ll never re-marry that one marriage enough to go through
Her ex husband now is re-married and her sympathies are with his wife
And she hopes that he will treat her kindly and that he’s learnt from his mistakes in life.
Her son and daughter soon to be teenagers are all that she worry about
That ‘life isn’t meant to be easy’ at such a young age they found out
She raise them as a single mother and she works hard for them every day
Since her ex husband doesn’t pay alimony or help them out in any way.
She vows that she’ll die a divorcee and that she’ll never marry again
And the sad memories of her broken marriage through her life time with her will remain
For she took the abuse and beatings when she was a callous
man’s wife
Still she doesn’t feel bitter towards him she merely gets on with her life.
