What is Now Broken and Bruised

She takes time and care 

To show her best 
He still calls her a mess 
She takes longer trying to impress 
Shows up late 
he yells at her  
For making him wait 
Pleasing him is of no use  
She must be ugly 
As she takes on his abuse 
Of herself she was so sure 
But now so insecure 
Exactly how he wants her 
Her happiness 
He slowly peels away 
As with a harness
He steals her will 
To ever run away 
With a spirit broken she stays 
Exactly how he wants her to behave 
Until comes the day 
She sees through to his abuse 
And takes back
What is now broken and bruised
