Hard Life
He smoked and he drank
And in that chair he sank
He hollered and he cussed
He always raised a fuss
He grabbed her by the hair
And still she didn't care
He through her against the wall
She bounced like a little rubber ball
She never let the pain show
For another punch he would throw
But once alone, she would cry
Wondering how she would get away with another lie
Everyday her money she would save
Praying she wouldn't first go to her grave
Then on that blessed day
Head held high she walked away
Down the aisle in her white gown
Knowing never again will she be knocked down
She walked with a whisp
Turned and blew him a kiss
She looked at the man by her side
And knew this was the greatest day to be a bride
She was now out from under his thumb
Never again will she have to deal with such scum
She now loves her new life
For she is a great mother and wife

A very nice write. Loved the emotion. Hard to write about abuse, but you did it with flair.
