Song, sort of,

Ok folks, I wrote it, I needed to post it. I know some of you may have seen it some where else... I said I should just ask her some tough questions. I wish i could play guitar, or piano--- I think there is a great jazz/bules song here... i dont know, maybe a rock song? I write, i dont play.

I guess that is an invitation. If you have a melody that would go with these lyrics... put it togehter... but be sure to give me some credit...

As for why I wrote this, and what I will do... well, I tried to cal her, and i got no answer. I will send her the pics of my niece in the morning. Maybe I'll tell her to call me. Maybe I'll see how she is.




sister, are you happy?
sister, are you okay?
sister, do you feel safe at home?

that mister, he is trouble
that mister, he is sinister
that mister, he makes you feel so all alone

sister, Ive been watching
sister, Ive been thinking
sister, I've been worried but i don't know what to do

sister, do you love him
sister, do you need him
sister, could leave him if you needed to?

sister, i could help you
sister, i could hold you
sister, i could raise you up again

let me, let me help you
let me, let me be there
sister, let me in to be your friend

Sorry you even have to write something like this. I hope your reaching out is met with welcome arms.

Sucks.

That's really great, Mouse! Don't be surprised if she tells you to f*&k off, though. Is he physically abusing her that you know of? If not, and his abuse is emotional and verbal, it's likely she is well aware of it. Do they have kids? There are so many reasons women stay with abusive men (emotional and verbal, not physical)... it's not as easy as packing up and walking out the door. She needs a friend, needs your love, needs your prayer, needs your support, doesn't need judgment, and she needs a good therapist/counselor. Be there for her...

Beautiful words city mouse. What a wonderful world if women were more for each other as your words suggest. Hope alls well with you. If women were really for life and strong about it the world would be a much better place.

Why do I think that one day you will learn to play the guitar or piano (or both) and then you will come up with a melody yourself? Why? Because I'm sure you could!

I'm stunned, your feeling there's a problem? Let me know if and what she does.

Hi hun'.....Can I just say that no matter how worried you may be about someone in this situation, it may be that there is nothing you can do or say............My older sister had a husband who beat the shit out of her on a regular basis...There was one occasion where her face was so bad that our own mother couldn't recognise her, but like so many battered women, she wouldn't press charges, would even accept some blame, she was battered for reasons like , not moving quick enough, making tea too hot, too cold, not dusting, dusting too often.........any old excuse would do when that piss poor excuse of a man wanted to feel macho....The only thing you can often do is offer support time and time again until the battered person decides to leave or the batterer dies ( as in my sisters husband did) RIP......rest in peace? No......Rot in Piss.
