She held on to the fragile branch with a death's grip as the roaring water threatened to drag her away.
She gasped, the bubbling swirls entering her mouth. There was no hope left
There was no escape
So she closed her eyes
And began to pray
She had been abused for 13 years
She wore many bruises
She cried many tears
Like superman
Without a cape
I took her into my arms
And we walked away
Sure I couldn't fly
But I gave her my word
I would love her forever
And I'd buy her a bird
