It's just a job
like any other
they said
And - boom!
that lie
chopped her down
dead
They laughed
as they hurt her
they came as she
bled
They wouldn't listen
when she said
No! please stop.
I'm scared.
Instead
They told her
she liked it
they fucked
with her head
They told her
that's where she
belonged -
on a bed
Her bruises
stayed hidden
Her dignity
shred
They caught her
and made her pay
worse
when she fled
She lived terror
and pain
a life spent
in dread
She died lonely
addicted
That's where
'just a job' led.
