It is titled 'Alas, she was too late..' and was written by me, Ruby, aged fourteen.
She dreads the moment,
That he comes home,
She's by herself,
She's all alone,
She washes her face,
After another fight,
This tunnel's getting darker,
She see's no light,
She loves him,
Yet fears him,
She hates him,
And sometimes feels strong,
Though, alas, the day,
She was to get help,
He hit her and she cried,
with one last yelp,
She lays quite still,
She's finally at peace,
She'd longed for this day,
When her crying would cease
