How Much Does it Hurt?

[Fatal Dawn]

How much does it hurt?

Does anyone feel your pain?



How much does it hurt?

Does anyone feel your pain?



How much does it hurt?

Does anyone feel your pain?



How much does it hurt?

Does anyone feel your pain?



Does anyone feel your pain?



Treated like a dog, abused and sobbing,

A young woman stands alone, head throbbing,

Because she’s been hit by her boyfriend.

If he truly loved her, he’d put the abuse to an end…

Crying, screaming, and rioting. More broken glass

and more fighting..

She can't close her teary eyes- every time she tries,

She's overcome with pain and emotion.

Not a scrap of kindness shown.

Standing in a corner alone, clutching the phone,

Five scars and body-bruised,

Not even her friends know the truth,

She wants to collapse from the fear,

He whispers threats in her ear.



Everyday it hurts…

Everyday it gets worse...



How much does it hurt?

Does anyone feel your pain?



No one feels her pain.

No one feels the strain.

Crying, silently, in vain.

And no rest for this girl’s mind.

Everyday is hell,

Take it one day at a time.

Afraid to raise kids, the stress doubled,

They’ll see the violence and grow up troubled.



Her heart is about to break in two.

What else to do?

What else to live for?

She’d rather die than live in hell.

And that’s what she did,

Her blood spilled on the kitchen floor.







Committed suicide at the age of twenty-four.









How much did it hurt?





Did anyone feel your pain?
