It's been nineteen years.
She has fought with all her fears.
Things sometimes seem so hard
When she goes to the backyard,
Weeps, sobs and comforts her heart.
She lived for her kids.
She lived because she knew,
There is no place in this town where she can run to.
It's been nineteen years,
Her man still lays his hands,
Her man still calls her names.
She wonders understand what was the blunder.
Why she fails to make him happy.
She knows that his heart is clean.
It's just that situations make him mean.
It's been nineteen years,
She knows, he is not wrong.
She knows that her kids have an amazing father.
Her kids can do nothing,
But just live that one dark silent night.
It's been nineteen years,
She thinks she is lucky to have man like him.
After all the torments from the past.
She thinks she is happy.
But, still when he calls her names or lays his hands,
She wonders what was her blunder and wish for her life's end.
