"Beggin'" by Shay-Renee

"Beggin'"



She's beggin' on her knees--
"Pretty please!"
That he would quit--
With all of the hits.

Hitting her in her face--
It's not in his place.
She's crying and pleading,
Abuse is not what she's needing.

He's such a disgrace--
Hitting her continuously in her face.
She's trying so hard--
To drop his guard.

For heaven's sake!
She deserves a break!
Blow by blow,
She's dying slow.

Beggin' for peace...
Now she's deceased.
