A publisher friend of mine has asked me for some lyrics for an upcoming concert to benefit abused women. Decided to finish up this one that was just a fragment. I'd love to polish it further. It has a very odd rhythm pattern/meter/rhyme scheme to the chorus...hope you can hear what I do there. I don't normally do lyrics like this..but being a former victim of abuse, I want to do what I can to help. Would appreciate any and all thoughts and ideas here.

She Never Quite Forgot
(c) 2002 Lyrics by Bobbie Gallup ASCAP
20 years of mistakes and misery
Had clouded her clear blue eyes
Her outward cheer was a thin veneer
Her heart had adopted to disguise
Love was not some commodity
She merely gave what she had away
But her trust and innocence
Were too high a price to pay
CHORUS:
One used his hand to prove he was a man
The other hammered her heart
Till his words tore her apart
And one grey day she just walked away
Left her car in the parking lot
But she never quite forgot
There's just so much she will tell you
Just so far she lets her feelings go
A lotta things are deeply buried
Things no one will ever know
Folks think she's got her life together
New job, new friends and her own place
In time maybe there'll be a new man...but...
You can't replace what can't be erased
Cause...
CHORUS:
One used his hand to prove he was a man
The other hammered her heart
Till his words tore her apart
And one grey day she just walked away
Left her car in the parking lot
But she never quite forgot
BRIDGE:
Love was never meant to bring pain
Love was never meant to be about shame
But for now...she's just holding on
To things that help to keep her sane
Cause...
CHORUS:
One used his hand to prove he was a man
The other hammered her heart
Till his words tore her apart
And one grey day she just walked away
Left her car in the parking lot
But she never quite forgot
TAG:
Perhaps in time she'll be able to find
One whose embrace can help erase....
What her memory won't let her escape

"Do not endeavor to be the smartest kid in a dumb class. Instead, you are better off being the dumbest kid in the smartest class, where you will be challenged and you will learn. If you aren't growing, you are dying." -Brian Austin Whitney
