Dear Diary

Shhh! Come closer and be quiet
I need to talk to someone
You see, I am not happy
I was hit again last night
I thought it would stop
When we got a new house
But now he has new friends
I'm trapped inside this circle of life
With no beginning and no end

What am I supposed to do
When he comes home at night
Slamming the door
I go running with fright
He's raising hell
While trying to find the light
It gets harder each passing day
To get used to his harmful ways

Shhh! Is that him coming now?
No, it must just be the wind
I wish that I had the courage to leave
But I'm really scared
If only you could see him
If you could see that stare
Please help me get away
Far away from here

How am I supposed to live?
So far away from home
How could I just leave him?
Knowing he'll be all alone
Maybe I'll just stay here
For only a little while
Maybe he'll change his ways
His kind of life and style

Shhh! I guess I'd better go now
Thank you for your time
I need to go and see him
Let him know that he's still all mine
He doesn't mean to hit me
It'll be okay
You don't have to worry
It would still be all right to pray

Goodnight to my diary
Goodnight to my friend
I think that this is the end&;#8230;
The end&;#8230;
The end&;#8230;

At 3 am a man beat his wife to death on Happy Lane. Reports show that
she's a repeat abuse victim. All they found next to her was a page from
her diary.
